Ladies show us your best.
You look gorgeous. I love the dress - so unique for a wedding, and the stole looks amazing with your hair.- Elpinoine

Love the new dresses by both funda62 and kamikat. Great work! I just finished by first skirt. It looks lovely, but it's about a 1/2 inch away from being able to be zipped up. :( I guess it's a real sign I need to stick to my diet more.- Elpinoine

What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings
I'm larger in the chest too and have had good luck with the Bali Flower bra. It runs in bigger sizes, and gives that vintage look without being too pointy. I find it to be a nice balance. Bonus is that it's really affordable too. It has fantastic support, and while I bought it for my vintage...- Elpinoine

I'm going to look for one of those. I've been using my dining room table, but it's a fairly small table. Normally if I'm cutting cottons it's fine, but this was a bit too big.- Elpinoine

I seem to be rip deficent. It starts okay and then I end up ruining a chunk of fabric. I don't know if I'm not ripping fast enough or what.- Elpinoine

Thanks. I'm pretty sure I have one of those someplace from when I use to do quilting. I'll have to hunt it down. I was going crazy with it yesterday. It was so static clinging I couldn't do anything with it.- Elpinoine

Show us your vintage patterns!
The two that are in the picture together are printed ones, so that I'm use to. the rest are all the perforated ones. I've told myself that since I'm fairly new to all patterns it will be just as easy to learn to work with them as it will the modern kind. :) I'm happy to hear that they are...- Elpinoine

Do any of the sewers out there have a good way for getting a nice straight edge on their fabric before cutting? After trying for ages last night, I finally gave up on trying to pin out the pieces for my first skirt last night. I'm using a thin fake suede fabric and couldn't get a straight...- Elpinoine

Isn't it great! I couldn't resist it. I really love the Hollywood patterns. I've yet to see one that I don't like. There was another I loved, but missed out on.- Elpinoine

No, I picked up a McCalls vintage style pattern when my local fabric store had them on sale. I'm not quite daring enough yet to try my own pattern. I just need to take a few photos now that they are finished.- Elpinoine

I'm a very newbie sewer, who hasn't actually sewn anything other than knitting needles cases and aprons yet, but I'm already developing an addiction to collecting vintage patterns. I'm just starting my first circle skirt now (with a modern pattern), so it will be just a matter of time before...- Elpinoine

I'm a newbie sewer too. Ages ago when I was back in grammer school, they made all of us take one semester of sewing. I distinctly remember being made to "sew" lines on pieces of paper before we finally sewed up pillows in the shapes of letters. I was really horrible, and couldn't wait for the...- Elpinoine

Cute Vintage-y Shoes
Thanks for the link to these! I have wide feet and use to have good luck with Valley Lane shoes when Lane Bryant carried them. They no longer carry them, and the ones they carry now don't work for me at all - way too stiff. I'm so glad I found another place that carries a reasonably priced...- Elpinoine

I have the same pattern and some fabric just waiting to start. I'm new to sewing too. I've done a few aprons, and knitting needle cases, but no clothing yet. I'm just waiting to find some great bias tape to start.- Elpinoine
