jamethielHi everyone!
( cut for rambling text and picspam )
I'll probably do a progress post each week with pics.
What I will do next week. Double the length of my scarf. Sew the side front onto that dress. Make a duct-tape dummy.
As a comment on the dress, it's silk-cotton. I'm using silk thread to sew it and OMG BEST DECISION EVER. The gathering at the waist was SO EASY. It all just slid on the thread... like silk!
Because I have a question, I come bearing links.
Great Pattern Review is AMAZING. Real people talking about how a pattern actually was to sew. There is an emphasis on historical and costume stuff, but as I'm sort of going for vintage with a lot of stuff, that's completely fine. I've found folkwear through there and they have SO MUCH STUFF I WANT TO MAKE.
And secondly, a request. Does anyone in Melbourne, Australia, know how to get a sloper made for yourself? Or where it might be possible?
