Hello!
Today, I get to share with you my take on Vintage May, an awesome series curated by Jess of Craftiness is not Optional and Kristin of Skirt as Top.
I was SO EXCITED to be asked to be a part of this series!
I have a humble, yet beloved vintage pattern collection... I started collecting them when Em was just a baby. The 40's and the 70's are my favorite eras... Random, right? :) Here are some of my favorites:
I made the top left pattern here, and the bottom left pattern here.
For this occasion, I was going to make a yellow gingham romper from another vintage pattern I have, but when I went Google searching for inspiration pics, the first thing that popped up was a certain gingham romper made for Vintage May by Jess herself. Lol. Ooops.
So I changed things up, and settled on this pattern:
Which I've also actually made before, right here!
This time, for the shorts I used the Clover pattern from Willow & Co. They are sooooo adorable! These short were a snap to make, and I truly enjoyed the entire process. Also enjoyable - sewing with this clay-hued stretch twill from Mood. I actually bought this fabric to make a Moss Skirt for myself. I'm hopeful I have enough left. :)
The super sweet white floral used for the halter top is a rayon challis from Denver Fabrics. Hello my name is Sarah, and I am addicted to rayon challis. And florals. Nice to meet you.
Em's shoes are vintage suede Sperry's from this little Etsy shop. So sweet.
I love how this outfit turned out! It doesn't necessarily scream vintage, but there is a classic vibe to it. I love it. :)
Cheeeeeeese!
Absolutely adorable!!! The colors are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Heidi! :D
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI love it! I bought a vintage pattern from McCall's to make a cute girl jacket. But I struggle to understand the pattern. I found the annotations confusing. I suppose I just have to try! I wish I could get a garment as beautiful as yours!
So cute! You did a great job!
ReplyDeletedefinitely classic! and I LOVE that you used a vintage pattern!! love that fabric!
ReplyDeleteSweet sarah!!
ReplyDeleteAAA-dorable! I love that it's not frilly... but still girly. Emmylou is such a little beauty!
