A pattern question
There's something I would like to ask you all: What kinds of freebie pattern would you like?
You may or may not remember, but when I took the Vintage Sewing Pattern Pledge this year, I also promised to share six projects from my vintage collection. So far, I translated one "draft-to-instructions" pattern from Bella magazine. In that case, I picked a stylish dress for a larger size: bust 112.
For the next patterns, I would like to ask you what you want: More projects like that one in different sizes? And which sizes? Separates? Accessories like cut-and-sew hats or collars and dickeys? Knitting patterns? Or even something for children (I think I even have a boy's pattern or two)?
Just let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Hi Aicha, great initiative! Thanks for sharing. My understanding of girls, who sew vintage patterns, is that they make dresses. I am not sure where to or how often they wear their vintage makes. I have often found that I am inspired by the aesthetics of 60s or 50s but then end up not wearing my makes. So, I think the patterns you share will have to be easy to complement modern garments. Separates or outer wear... I wear a 60s inspired wool coat I made and often get compliments. Have you made stats which garments you wear most often?
ReplyDeleteI love vintage clothes that are wearable. Seperates definitely, or coats/jackets.
ReplyDeleteYou are so generous! I'll hop on the separates (plus jackets and coats) train. I love 50s, 60's and early 70s for wearability.
ReplyDeleteI love the hats. I have a vintage hat pattern problem. But whatever you wish to share is gift enough.
ReplyDeleteCut and sew hats (from the 30s-50s) would be fantastic, though I am sure I will enjoy whatever you share.
ReplyDeleteInteresting but, simple tops. Love dresses too
