Swingin' Dress

 I'm nearly finished with this 1940's style dress (pattern). I'm quite in love with it and can't wait to wear it!

Looks Like Neopolitan

 

My newest sewing project...almost finished! I tried it on yesterday and I felt like a nurse. It came out looking like a 1950's house dress. Which I would usually love, but really it didn't come out like I thought it would. I have yet to put the buttons on, so that might help. And I'll shorten the sleeves. 

The pattern is from 1971. Ew, I know, tell me about it. (Not to offend anyone who's into 70's fashion. It's not me.) But it has a 40's/50's feel. I got it from my grandmas stash of patterns (boxes upon boxes of them!). I want to be like my grandma someday.

Sewing...Sewing...

 

This dress I made a while ago, but I'm making a matching jacket now. Unfortunately, I accidentally made the arm holes to small, so that will be for another day. I can't wait when it's finished!

Bookmark Love

Yesterday, I made these lovely, vintage-looking bookmarks for my mom and friend.

I found these bookmarks at The Graphics Fairy, which you can download and print here.
I hope you have fun making these as I did!
