Following a 1960s jumper pattern: Sewing through the decades
After a longer than originally planned break, this series is back! And the next installment should be coming shortly - the 70s dress just needs to be hemmed!
Honestly I've been a bit selfish this past month and focused a lot on personal historical projects - and this kind of got tossed aside. But it's done now! And in my opinion, surprisingly cute. I like how these pieces look together, and on their own. I think they may end up surpassing the 1950s skirts as my most worn pieces.
However I am planning on taking in the jumper slightly - the shapeless-shape suits the 1960s nicely, and is very comfortable. But nipping it in at the waist would make it so much more flattering. So that is on my weeks agenda.
Along with finally finishing my riding habit, sewing sleeves onto an eton jacket, finishing my taxes, and completing the historically accurate Anastasia sketches for a patreon voted project. And I'm excited about at least half of those things!!

You definitely would fit in on the set of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel". I started watching the show because of you! BTW, I love it and the clothes.
What a cute dress!
I love this look!
That's so cute! I love the dress!
Love it!! I have a picture of my Nanny in a jumper and blouse almost identical to this!
