I’m sorry for the lack of posting! Life has been a bit crazy lately.
Have you been occupied by any creative endeavors? It’s still pretty warm here, but I’m daydreaming about some pretty mid 30′s fall fashion. I love summer, while summer is here, but I also love my wools and tweeds!
This image is from a mail order catalog from 1936, and has a good example of an autumn color scheme to incorporate into your sewing projects.
Hope you’re having a lovely week!
Thanks for sharing! My brain has been on fall sewing mode lately so this is just perfect!
Those prints!!!! *drool* All I can think about right now is fall… In fact I’ve been stubbornly bringing out bits and pieces of fall clothing that I cannot possibly wear right now! lol. My sewing list for fall has grown quite long, as has my shopping list–I just need to start making it happen!
I second Casey’s drool and add a *swoon*! I was on eBay the other day and actually saw a couple of sets of sample fabrics from the 30s or 40s (very $$). I wish there was a fabric time machine! Although if I got to choose, I’d pick 10 and 3 from the left side and 7 and 3 from the right. If only!
My mind is firmly planted in fall wardrobe daydreaming… I’m struggling to find motivation to finish a sleeveless blouse I started a month ago! Ha!
Cruising blog-land, I’m seeing so much inspiration that my head is bubbling over with ideas. Love this ad.
wow those prices!! i had no idea there were so many varieties of crepes.
