Longtime lurker who has received so much inspiration from everyone here. I am Rita and have not been sewing all that long but really only sew with vintage patterns. My most recent project has been completing views A and B of McCall’s 5357.It took a while, but….wooohoo…I finally finished and thought I would share the finished looks. View A in a soft but sturdy cotton plaid; View B in silk taffeta. My poor dressforms just don’t have the attitude of that pattern envelope.
You can read more about my adventures with this project on my blog; especially how the pattern envelope lies!!
They both look lovely. I have a similar problem with fitting the old patterns to my size. I am one size on top and another size on the bottom. It can be frustrating, especially for me who is new to sewing…but carry on…I will!
I am envious of your dressforms!
Really impressive! This is the inspiration I need to get my lazy self to the sewing machine..thanks!
Nice dress picture..
If i want to buy how much is it cost….
