Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Ooookay. I need to line a sleeveless bodice for a dress I'm making, and there are a lot of different guides/tutorials online but none with pictures and they're so confusing! I just tried to hash it out by myself and um.. had to leave it alone and go away for a while. Any tips ya'll can offer? :(- SayCici

It definitely is an awkward stage of growing out! So maybe a promise of one of those new hats would help. ;) -

Hairstyle Help
kiltie, I think I might be the girl to help you! I used to have hair a little shorter than hers for a while, but eventually I wanted something a little more vintage looking and something I could style. This is a photo of what my hair looks like straight, but in the back it's very short, there's... -

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
I had tattoos before I started dressing vintage in earnest, so I was already getting looks. Honestly it doesn't influence what I wear at all because I figure no matter what I do, someone's going to stare and I shouldn't waste any time or thought on them, unless they're pleasant of course. :)- SayCici

Nothing too exciting - white cotton skirt from my no-frills 30s pattern! I didn't get a shot of the weave which is why I picked this particular fabric. It's rip-stop from JoAnns. I got red gum all over the back from someone sticking it under a seat. :(- SayCici

What are you wearing today??
Today! Skirt sewn by me from a 1930s pattern, the top is supposedly 70s but I thought the grommet/lacing was a very 30s detail. Day before yesterday. Dress sewn by me!- SayCici

A girl in my morning class, with whom I'm becoming fast friends because she's a historical costumer and also watches Buffy, said she looks forward to me coming into class every day because of my outfits. :D- SayCici

Yay, my Civil War dress! .. that sounds like a weird thing to be happy about. Anyway, I'm really happy with how this turned out! I can see myself using this pattern many more times. There's more information about it on my blog. I used a red-and-white striped fabric for the sleeve stiffener to...- SayCici

kamikat, good luck! Your storyboard looks great! I love the look of everything, the blouses are especially cute. I should start to think of my to-sew list as a contest, maybe I'd get started (and finished) on things faster, ha.- SayCici

The Details, a Sewing Resource
1940s, dress, sequins, motif (animals/snake) This amazing dress is on Etsy right now. Brown rayon crepe dress from the 40s, and I'm guessing the tail-end of the 40s because it has 2 metal zippers. The main body of the snake is composed of sequins, and it looks the outline might be...- SayCici

1930s, separates (pants), motif (nautical/sailboat) I used this image on my blog because I like her hair, but I also love her outfit! Note the sailboat at the left pant hem. This could have been silkscreened on by the manufacturer, a process that has been around for a very long time, but...- SayCici
