Hi All!
Hope you’ve had a lovely week so far. I got a brand new haircut last week and tried my first curl set on it today. It was all just done with sponge rollers, no particular pattern or set. Thought I’d share a picture :)
I made my top from a late 20s pattern using vintage burnout fabric. Someday I’ll actually finish it and make a matching skirt, I swear….
Hope today was full of good things for you!

I agree with what Tasha said above, you do look like a silent film star! The blouse is adorable as well! So wish I could sew, I would have a closet full! Just wonderful !

Thanks doll,

September 1, 2011 at 3:36 pm (13 years ago)You look perfect! You always do but that length shows your face in a lovely way.
(oh, and I have a question for you, will you republish some 20’s patterns on you shop?)

Eventually I’d like to do 20s patterns. I have some cute ones on the wish list for adding, but I’m afraid I haven’t been able to work on patterns as much as I’d like to lately. I’ll get to them eventually :)

September 30, 2011 at 10:15 pm (13 years ago)Cute haircut. Though I don’t know what you looked like before the cut since I’ve only just found your blog and have yet to really explore it. Speaking of waves. I was doing a 40s/50s outfit for a friend’s wedding a while back and really got into it. I even cut my hair as short as it’s ever been in my life (just to my shoulders). By the time the wedding came around it had grown out some, but I still curled it up with period setting lotion (I don’t go for chemicals when I can find something natural). Setting lotion is really easy and cheap to make and definitely works. I’d be happy to give you the instructions if you like.
