I love sewing with children’s vintage patterns.So many modern patterns for children are sort of sack like and shapeless.
I love how the styles from the forties are fitted and stylish, while being practical at the same time!
This little dress was made from a thrifted men’s shirt and my 1942 Simplicity pattern in the spirit of 40’s frugality.

I made myself a playsuit! The fabric is vintage madras I bought at the Rose Bowl Flea Market and the pattern is from the early forties. Visit me at Sew Country Chick for more pics and info!
This is a dress I designed for the Burdastyle Vintage Modern Challenge. I was inspired by the migrants from the midwest who populated the ranch area in California where I live. To see more visit my blog

Im loving this new format We sew retro! I just have to learn this wordpress posting a bit more now. I cant figur out how to post these photos. Maybe you should do a little tutorial on this? If any of you follow my blog Sewcountrychick I recently switched form blogspot to www.sewcountrychick.com and my feeds are having some trouble but Im still here! These are two matching dresses I made for a vintage and upcycled fashion show I had recently. They are both made from vintage bed sheets and I adapted two modern patterns to give them a sixties vibe. I realize the bigger dress seems too long for a sixties look but my original model was almost 6 feet and my cute 5’2″ daughter is wearing it here!
