Thank you so much and yes it does make sense :) I was able to secure pictures of the instruction sheet from a lovely seller on Etsy, so now we shall see how much patience I have...LOL! I will be sure to post a picture when it's complete.
Good Evening Ladies,
I am in dire need of some help and thought my best option would be to ask here ;) I purchased my fabric (black velvet) for my Christmas dress yesterday and was so anxious to get started today and then realized when I pulled out my pattern that this one was missing the...
Thank you so much LizzieMaine! I knew about the pre-cut sizes and so made sure that the ones that I purchased were to my size but I just wanted to double check to make sure that cup sizes were not a factor. You are a wealth of knowledge and a lifesaver :)
So I have a sewing/pattern question for you ladies and decided this may be the best thread to post in since I lost count of how many dresses & blouses I have made and they do not fit. Fail.
I know that modern patterns are printed based on a bust cup size of a 'B' and so if your not one of those...
I needed to get my hair up today so that it wouldn't get pulled out by an adorable 14 month old (she is currently in dreamland so I have a moment to myself) .....quick, easy & stylish....
After my mother battled breast cancer in 2006 I switched everything in our home from personal products, cleaning products and of course, our food. Everything we eat is organic, home grown or purchased from a local farmer.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only "vintage" gal that doesn't wear a lot of makeup. I noticed that after I turned 28 my face couldn't handle foundation -- I breakout something terrible. Now 5 years later foundation seems to enhance fine wrinkles so I don't even waste my precious dollars. I haven't...
Wonderful Website....
I just ran across this website and I'm having a blast just browsing their wares!!
They carry Thayers Rose Water Witch Hazel (alcohol-free) & also Nivea Cream (Made in Germany)
The shipping isn't bad either.....
My latest project.....
I popped in to share with you lovely ladies my latest project. It is for a dear family friend ~ one who I held as a little one & now she is waiting for the arrival of her little girl any day now......gosh I feel old.....
Here is her "Blessing Day" Bonnet & Booties...
I decided to start a blog when I opened up my Etsy shop. It was an easy way to display what was new in the shop and keep everyone involved in what I was doing. I had never blogged before and so I'm horrible at keeping up with it. I try to look at it like I'm working on a lifetime scrapbook, of...
Vintage Crochet
I have a few vintage crochet patterns, one of which is throwing me off with the yarn that is suggested. It calls for Dawn Worsted Floss. I've searched the internet for Worsted Floss and nothing. The only thing that I can figure is that it is a fingering yarn? Does anyone else...
Look what I just found in my Pattern Stash!!
When Joann Fabrics was having a sale last month on Simplicity patterns, $1 each, I picked up a few and this one happened to be one of them. I bought this one to make the ivory flapper cloche (view A) but I didn't know if View C was the look you were...
That is a beautiful idea!! You will have plenty of time, if I remember correctly my mom's treatments were 3 hours long! She taught the hospital chaplain & volunteer how to play Five Crowns & Rook (card games) lol
That is a wonderful motto! My mom's was and still is "Life is to short to worry...
Colter Creek
Here are my saddle shoes. I bought them off eBay 2 years ago and they are so comfortable. I didn't want to go with the original black & white so I opted for the a Navy & Ivory/Tan, they look very sharp when paired with navy trousers. The rubber bottoms are really good too, not...
When my mother received the call that she had breast cancer she asked me if I would scrapbook her journey. She said that people only want to remember the happy times in life but it is more important to remember the struggles because that is what builds character and personal growth. It was the...
Sending you heartfelt thoughts..
Blondie, I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. My mother was diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer in 2006 and due to the aggressiveness of the cancer she had to have 4 cycles each of Chemotherapy & Radiation. It is truly heartbreaking to watch a loved one go...
The Ragged Bloom
I also have an Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/theraggedbloom
It is a joint venture with my mother & I, we had a brick & mortar shop but had to close several years back. The entrepreneur in both of us never left so here we are :)
We sell vintage aprons, linens...
I couldn't pass this one up. I have never found a transfer of "Mary had a little lamb" so I bought this child's apron to use as a pattern. It's so adorable.
She has gotten back to me and has offered a refund :D I would not hesitate to refer her business to others and that is something that I feel good about! I have also sold vintage clothing before as well and I know how uneasy it can be when it comes to measurements. I truly am thankful for...
