That's a cute pattern Bunny and I agree that cotton is a good starting fabric. It is very forgiving.

I got this pattern for my sister but I may grad it up to my size also. I love apron and wardrobe patterns and I think this is adorable.

And this for me. I love the bodice.

Very cute!
I love your signature, deadpandiva. That quote is so true of some sewing projects I've made myself! lol "I've aquired quite a taste for a well made mistake."

DPD, loooove the second dress pattern. The bodice reminds me of a pattern that 'got away':

I fell in love with that pattern when you posted it , which is partly why I got this one.

Those beach pyjamas are adorable. Can't wait to see them made up Deadpandiva. Did I see a way to upload photos of made garments on the vintage pattern wiki? That would be such a great resource.

Cool. I love the way it looks and can't wait to make one of my own.

Ha ha! Lauren, I was just thinking 'How 1938' on your pattern when I see it says 1939 written in pencil on it, so I was darned close! lol.

I have been extremely virtuous and not bought any patterns for ages.

lol Yup, you know me and late 30s sportswear looks! :D

I know, it's true. I almost bought another pattern just because I liked her silly hat. lol Too bad the hats don't come with purchase!

From Lauren. I love the cleaning lady look! Let me know if payment went through ok -- I cancelled my credit card, but I still had money in my PayPal.

I have this one -- it's my all time favorite house dress, although I tweaked it a bit to have a set-in buttoned waistband instead of a belt. And yes, I accessorize it with my mop and bucket.

Early 30's lounging pajamas. The listing said 1910-1920 but I don't think they are that old. I love them.
Oh how lovely!

I find that the sellers almost always mistake the patent dates of the pattern company's method for the date of the pattern, which explains the teens on this one. It is so 1930!

And I want it so very badly - but bigger.

I need it a size smaller but beggers cant be choosers I guess. I'd rather great up a size than down one. I looks like it should be pretty simple to make as there are only a few pattern pieces.

Here is my latest and probably the last for a while.
