So as it is the 100th year Anniversary for WWI and the 70th for WWII I have made some poppies. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f2f2f2; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 160px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The poppy has a long association with Remembrance Day. But how did the distinctive red flower become such a potent symbol of our remembrance of the sacrifices made in past wars?</div>
<div style="background-color: #f2f2f2; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 160px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Scarlet corn poppies (popaver rhoeas) grow naturally in conditions of disturbed earth throughout Western Europe. The destruction brought by the Napoleonic wars of the early 19th Century transformed bare land into fields of blood red poppies, growing around the bodies of the fallen soldiers.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f2f2f2; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 160px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In late 1914, the fields of Northern France and Flanders were once again ripped open as World War One raged through Europe's heart. Once the conflict was over the poppy was one of the only plants to grow on the otherwise barren battlefields.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f2f2f2; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 160px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The significance of the poppy as a lasting memorial symbol to the fallen was realised by the Canadian surgeon John McCrae in his poem In Flanders Fields. The poppy came to represent the immeasurable sacrifice made by his comrades and quickly became a lasting memorial to those who died in World War One and later conflicts. It was adopted by The Royal British Legion as the symbol for their <a href="http://www.poppy.org/" style="color: #f26722; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Poppy Appeal</a>, in aid of those serving in the British Armed Forces, after its formation in 1921.</div>

I really do love the material for this dress. I pinned it to my manikin as I have to sew the side ready for snaps and sew the straps on. I am really glad I only pinned it as I realized I pinned the straps upside down..Note to oneself: watch the pattern when sewing straps on.. :)<br />

I for the first time did not use pins, I used my Wonder Weights. They are from the 1940's and are about 1 inch wide and have a good weight to them. You place them around your pattern, cut and remove. your done. No more long time spent on pinning then unpinning….It was so much faster and much easier. I will never pin another pattern again. I suggest buying and trying. Now to start sewing…<br />

It is about girls working in a factory making bombs and their daily lives. A great period piece. Do you watch this? What do you think? If not, a must for any girl searching for inspiration or just to enjoy a period series.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">This is made from pattern Vogue Vintage 8789. It was very easy to make, I used nearly 5 yards of material in the skirt alone. I bought a two layer petticoat for underneath THEN I hemmed it as I did not want the waterfall look on the skirt, I wanted the skirt to just come over the petticoat so it had a nice drape look and wow! I am pleased with it. I used very soft 100% cotton in blue floral and it really does work well with the dress.</span><br />

NEVER made trousers so this will be interesting but going to give it a go. I bought some grey material that hangs lovely, did not pay a lot ($1.50) a yard on sale so hoping they turn out ok.<br />
<br />
I have cut the material out and will start sewing tomorrow.<br />

I don't mind gathering but there was SOOOO much material. I apologize for the poor pics. My dress will not go on the mannequin so I just laid it on the ironing board, when it is done, I will get some pic's of me wearing it. Trying to get it done for my birthday..YES... July 4th.....<br />
<br />
I have the zipper to put in, sew the buttons on the shoulder (I love the little satin hoops I made for them) and then just to hem it. The zipper is something I have never done, hoping I do not ruin the dress..<br />

I got all the darts sewn and sewed the front and back together. Next I have to make little loops for the shoulders as it buttons on the shoulders and has a zip on the side..dreading this first time job. Material is gorgeous but I am hoping it does not look too busy.<br />

Love the colors together. This one I made in an XL due to so many requests and I added a pocket. These are great for reenactments or truly wearing it to clean around the house or garden. I love mine. <br />

The first picture shows it tight leaving the tails hang and the other two with the tails tided up. Going to make some in interesting material now but time to finish the apron first, at least I know this works. Happy Crafting!<br />

You put it on your head and wrap the two long tails around your head to be tided. My models hair is so long it makes it look droopy, will have to tie her hair up properly and take a good picture but what do you think of this prototype? Will make another in better material too.<br />
