You just taught me a new way to sew patch pockets! Vintage pattern instructions do not have two layers with enclosed seams this way, but I can already see how your way is better… I’m envisioning now a chest patch pocket on a striped blouse —the pocket would be cut in two pieces with a vertical seam, cut on the bias so there’s a chevron in the middle, interfaced for stability and the inside pocket piece cut on the straight grain. Could be really cute. Or not. I’ll have to draw it and see what I think. Certainly, I will use this method now to make patch pockets … would be great for plaid cut on the bias as well (I have enough fabric from a plaid dress leftover, so I was planning to make a blouse.). Thank you!
Used fusible horsehair in the tall Lucille waistband and it holds up like a dream
First American film, right? I think she worked in Sweden before coming to the US. So excited for this. I’d love to see a body 40s woven jacket to pair with this in the future!
Are there any plans to share the pattern and provide a wonderful sew along video for the fabulous jacket Suzie is wearing with the Ingrid skirt? Apologies in advance if this has already been covered.
That's the Brooklyn Jacket! The pattern and video is on Patreon.
Must we use boning? It scares me.😭
Your outfit is too cute, Gertie.
I too must have matching pins!!! The struggle is real! I have been know to stop mid project to separate my pins into like groups.
Are your Kai's 8 inch?
