APRON IN THE MAKING!

So I was asked to make some aprons that were not so Pin Up! To resemble the more homely "real" wartime gal. Do you think this works?

Fall for Cotton, Change of Plan

So the material I love to line my coat is not cotton so I am going to make this set for the sew along. The floral material is for the gown and the eggplant solid material is for the jacket. Both 100% cotton, I am excited to see how this turns out. What do you think?

FALL FOR COTTON

                   YES!!!! Count me in, perfect timing. I am going to make the 40's coat

A Different 40's Apron

Well I had a customer ask me to maker her a different type of apron and I did. I made a muslin first for her to try on and se how this old pattern worked for her, with some tweaking I got it made just right.

 This is the pattern I used.

Cutting the material

sewing together with french seams

Now to sew all the wonderful bias binding, pockets and buttons on. This is what I got. 

 And the client loves it!!

What material to use? Oh Dear!!

Which do you think would make a better coat? Picture the green with a nice chocolate skirt and the other I was thinking of making a matching skirt????? Or shall I just start over? Trying to picture it is hard!!!

Copying 1940 trouser/dungarees patterns

So I have been asked several times for a copy of this pattern as it is a popular size and everyone wants the trousers!

So I am busy copying these onto swedish tracing paper with every tiny detail..takes longer then I thought!!! I will be listing them on my Etsy shop.
