Sewing vintage Style pattern 2838

Whilst all that  McCalls 3341 sew-along was happening…I was quietly sewing-along by myself!

I chose a vintage ‘Style 2838’

and made this versatile dress.

Versatile because I can wear it with or without a belt….

Its for those chilly breezy type of days.

I even lined it with a silk lining.

It feels dreamy against my skin, 

I almost feel like a lady.

I have recently started  keeping a sewing ‘want to make’ notebook.

When I see a pattern I like I photocopy it and stick it in my book with an appropriate swatch of fabric or two like this…

When sewed, I tick the page….see that big tick above….oh how I love to tick things!!

The book avoids me having piles of patterns hanging around, in order to remind me I want to make something.

Now I put them all tidily away, whilst keeping my ‘want-to-sew’ book handy for inspiration.

I do hope you are enjoying this long holiday weekend…anyone sewing today?

bestest easter wishes to you all
