That's exactly what I was just thinking. Glad I'm not alone on that.

 

[Joie DeVive]

So I bought a pattern! :

Sweet pattern! I think I was watching that one. Congrats!

 

[Lady Day]

One more maternity pattern for my friend. This one is in a larger size, and I get to keep it after I make them stuff yay!

I am dying for these PJs!

Lady Day, post pics soon! I am also curious how the sizing is.

So I bought a pattern! :

I will do an exchange with you for this pattern

Copies, that is!!

 

[kamikat]

I think I'm done for a while. I've got a bunch of new patterns and fabrics that I need to make up before I get new ones.

OMG, I love the white jacket!

 

[deadpandiva]

This looked simple and I like the neck line.

I am in love with this one. I had to have it.

 

[SayCici]

DPD, I adore the second one! View 3 is so sweet.

the neckline is delightful on that first one!

 

[SayCici]

I bought this pattern and then realized it was from Lauren's etsy shop! haha

I'm going to make View 2, with the top out of yellow and white seersucker and the skirt part just white. I don't know whether I should go with a bottomweight fabric or linen though!

Nice! I would use linen over the bottom weight (especially for summer), however bottom weights do have a nice solid drape. Your choice of course, but I think you'd be happier with the linen.

 

[SayCici]

Thanks Shirin for the advice! I was thinking the same thing, that linen would probably be better for summer. I guess I need to make a trip to Jo Ann's!

Have you seen this one, Blondie?

I haven't made it yet, but it is typical of a 40's blouse and goes up to a 55 1/2" bust.

 

[Blondie]

I have it and had totally forgotten about it !
Thanks for the reminder :eusa_doh:

I just got myself this:

It's way too big for me, but I'm going to use it to practice sizing a considerably large garment down. Alos, I collect Hollywoods and look how pretty it is! Hollywoods are always the best patterns, IMO. And I know what year they all came out because they are date stamped on the back!

 

[Rhian]

I've had these for about a year and still have yet to do anything with them! Shame on me.

Left: Simplicity #1725 (1956)
Right: Advance #3141 (1942)

Left: Simplicity #4838 (1954)
Right: Butterick 4747 (1949)

I don't know if anyone would be interested in vintage knitting patterns, but I managed to get a Vogue Knitting Book a while ago, which I think is from around 1949. Here are some of my favourites; there are a few more on my blog.

 

[SayCici]

Rhian, I love all of your patterns! The pink knit dress is lovely!

Need shorts!
