She's BAAAAACK (how many times have I said this?)

8/23/19

Well, I'm not even going to look at the date of the last post. Because that's just darn depressing.

I have continued to sew some vintage things, but frankly, I spend my days either in pants and a white or black shirt (work) or in PJ bottoms and a tank top (home).
Grocery store trips only happen on my way home from work.
But, on the rare occasions when I do venture out, I try to dress like woman who has  not given up.

Grab some tea or whatever while I catch you up.

So, I have a couple of early 1950s sleeveless dresses I like. One in red with tiny white polka dots and one in black with, you guessed it! tiny white polka dots.

And a mid 1940s that I also like.

Incredibles fabric for that sleeveless 40s dress

Recently, I've ventured into the late 1930s. I LIKE.

I've made some A-line skirts, which I love, but I seem to like dresses better. One thing to choose. No matching required.

I've also made some blouses. Oh, and a couple vests.

I've even finally gotten a basic pants draft that fits! Thank you American Sewing Guild local chapter!
I've made some 30s palazzo pants and tried a Hepburn-esque pair (wrong fabric, didn't really work out).

Ok, I totally lied. It has been about exactly TWO YEARS since my last post. Oy.

Now, the trick is to round up all these photos. Some are on Google Drive. Some are on my phone. Some are on the phone that died. Oops. Some were taken through Facebook. Or Instagram. Or gods know where.

Well. That was futile. I hate pictures of me SO MUCH. SO VERY MUCH. Aaaaaaargh.



I work in a fabric store, and we get to dress up on October weekends. So I chose to go vintage last year. Every Single Weekend. Only one picture. I shall do the same this year (dressing, and probably a paucity of photographic evidence).

Stay posted for some news about a late 1930s dress and a late 1940s sewing machine ...
