I love this little jump suite. As a matter of fact the sweater, the dresses, all of this makes me want to pull out my sewing machine again. I tried a couple of months ago, but I put it back again. I'm just better at hand sewing. It's my therapy, but I'll try because I love when other people make beautiful things.

Remember when we called these cocktail hats or whimsies. Well now they call them fascinators.

Been making lots of these little dresses and selling them as well as hair accessories and other styles of little girl dresses and tops and been doing lots of upcycling with little girls clothes. i have 4 sons and no daughters so this is my girly outlet lol, just opened my etsy shop but have yet to get my product up (looking for little girls to model them since i have none of my own )

These are adorable!!! I wish my daughter was a girly-girl. She loved to wear dresses when she was a toddler and up to about 4 years old. Can't stand them now (she's 11!).

The Simplicity 4044 pants. I needed a comfy pair of high waisted wide leg pants for winter so I whipped this up and added some bright buttons to give them a lift

Here's my Simplicity 3559 that I made for my office Mad Men party. Pardon the crinkles...


My Leopard-ish Capelet...from McCall's 5913...


My 50's styled romper from McCall's 6331...

I've followed this thread long before I joined the FL and you are all soo creative It's so fun to read and see what people like to wear- for real! What you like to make yourself!

Now I'm a little bit nervous beccause this is my first post in this thread.
Here it is!

and here is the pattern I used! It's my moms old! (I have my moms 70's version of it in my closet)

My intention was to give it a 30's or 40's feeling, I think I managed quite well?

Aurora Fisherman, you have indeed given it a 30s/40s flavour! It looks lovely. I admit to also having a sneaking love for 70s patterns in this style - my Mum had loads of similar ones back then that she sewed herself.

Finished one of my last 20s dresses for a while.
I really like how it turned out.
