kamikat, look at your hair! Super cute! And is that rick-rack, I see?

Love that dragon fabric, shebear74!

 

[shazzabanazza]

Cute as always Kamikat love your hair and glasses too!

Made the gray one for my sister and the dragon print for me.

I love that dress Shebear! Which pattern is that?

It's Simplicity 3673

BoPeep I love that fabric too! My sister is way more conservative than me, but I lined the bodice of her dress with the dragon fabric.

I love seeing everyone's sewing projects. Most of my sewing goes to other forums, as I sew a lot for my multitude of dolls, none of whom are even remotely Golden Age Super cute top, Kamikat. Lovely dresses SheBear. I too like the dragon print and that you used a hidden dragon lining on your sister's dress.

Over the weekend, I made my second human-sized dress: Vogue 8028 shirt dress. The fabric is the blue/brown check yarn dyed cotton from Reproduction Fabrics. Reasonably priced at just under $9/yard and super soft. The buttons were recycled from one of my husbands worn out button down shirts.

I didn't do a very good job matching up the plaids on either of these.
My first 1960's pattern.

 

[kamikat]

Very nice, DPD! Don't worry about the plaid. I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it. Matching the plaid is why I don't sew with it even though I LOVE plaid.

They look pretty darn good to me. Plaids are the Rubik's Cube of tailoring.

 

[Tatum]

DPD, I think they look smashing regardless. I really like your choices of plaid!

 

[BoPeep]

I love plaids too! Those both look like they're very comfortable.

 

[BoPeep]

Just did a pair of plaid cigarette pants, no frills, back zip. Easy to wear and they seem to be slowly, slowly replacing my jeans!

 

[Gracie Lee]

BoPeep, what pattern did you use? You look fantastic! Want!

 

[kamikat]

BoPeep, fantastic! I have done a 180 turn on cigarette pants (for me, always loved them on others) and am always looking for inspiration. I LOVE the plaid!

 

[BoPeep]

Wow, thanks girls! I didn't expect that response from such a utilitarian project. These were made with salvaged wool. Ironically, someone had taken apart a pair of pants with the intention of rughooking. I bought the box of wool scraps and sewed the pants back together again! lol Not a vintage pattern though. It's McCalls 2746, a slim leg, back zip, four darts front and back.

Oh no! It's out of print! Ack! Maybe I can find something similar....
