>It’s that time again! I’ve got a new pattern I’ve been working on- this one a reproduction of a mid 1930s one piece dress. It’s now available for pre-order on my website! Patterns will start shipping mid next week!
I just love this pattern to pieces! It’s feminine but it’s not fussy- it has all those little tailored details I love so much in mid 1930s clothing!
I started sewing this for myself last fall and tucked it away to be finished later once winter sat in. I made my version up with 1930s Collegiate inspiration- I even used a vintage football belt and leather buttons! The fabric is a linen/rayon blend. I know, I tend to use this fabric a LOT but it’s so easy to work with and I love the vintage feel.
Hope you love the new pattern! Can’t wait for an excuse to wear my new frock :)

>Oh my, I love this new pattern. With you release it in size group B? Also, can you recommend a source for linen/rayon blend fabric.
>I sure will! It will be in both normal size packs :)I get my linen/rayon blend at Joann Fabrics. They often have sales so you can get it quite inexpensively. It's called "Sew Classic Linen Look".
>Actually they have it on their website here- scroll down and you'll see the available colors near the bottom of the page:http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/productdetail.jsp?PRODID=prd46469&green=22676701906
>Oh wow the dress you made up is gorgeous!!! This pattern is fantastic! Great job as always!
>Amazing pattern, but I have to say, your version tops it all! It's simply perfect – those buttons, could it get any better? Nope, don't think so. Congratulations, and don't go looking too far for that excuse, just wear it any old day and be special!
>Gorgeous pattern! Too bad the sizing is a tad too small for me. It makes up into a garment that is truly lovely.
>Wow, neato! I love the patterns you choose to repro and you make them up in fabrics that would never occur to me. I wonder how View 1 would look in a flowery rayon, though I don't think I'd use their red, white and blue colors… Hmm….. One dress at a time!
>wahooo! Love the pattern, adore the dress, and the name of the pattern ain't half bad, either ;)
>I want to see it on you!! I agree with Patricia my bust size is so much bigger then the average pattern sizes I find on-line or in antique shops. It's super cute though.
>Okay, swoon!I need a few more hours in the day so I can sew everything I want to sew!
>Love the sleeves!
>Absolutely wonderful! Wow!xErinanodetoreverie.blogspot.com
