TheSwingingBee, that's so cute!
I have just finished a Vintage Vogue pattern, V2934, a short jacket from 1950. Really easy to sew, but not a cut that suits me. I'm a high-waisted hourglass and as you can see the jacket stops just where my hips starts, so it looks like I have no waist at all. I think it would look very good on a slender person, though. I made it in faux fur, the whole project was actually to try to sew in that material and I was pleasantly surprised- I have always thought that faux fur is a nightmare to work with.
Forgive the dorky expression...
Of course, the right accessories really makes an outfit.
NanaJen - Congrats on having the gumption to finish a sweater after it went wonky on you! I have that book. Which pattern did you use?
I made another Simplicity 2005 blouse, this time in flannel.

@Helle's Belle: Nice fabric! Did you teach yourself how to make clothes or is someone helping you? I have looked for ads like sewing classes but I live in a crappy small village so no luck. That's why I'm asking because you are just starting maybe I can teach it on my own?

I made this dress from a very flowy cotton voile from Simplicity 2549. It's kind of like wearing pajamas. Super comfy, I plan on remaking this pattern, in fact going to cut it out tonight!
