Buoyed by the "success" of my first sewing project (I still haven't managed to get any further than cutting out the pattern pieces!) I started browsing Etsy for vintage sewing patterns for little people and ended up buying this beauty. I can't work out what size it is (size 24, apparently) but, looking at the pattern pieces, it's definitely still a good bit too big for Dulcie, which is a good thing. I secretly wish this pattern was in my size, though it may not be too accommodating to bosoms, I suppose. Incidentally, if anyone knows of any cute but not too tricky patterns for any clothes I might be able to make for myself (I'm thinking dresses and tops in particular) then please do let me know. Once my space is reorganised, I'm hoping I can turn my sewing machine into my constant companion.
p.s. This is where I got the pattern above from.

Hello lady! I've just bought the Laurel pattern from Collette Patterns and it's wonderful. Mega easy and loads of potential - you should defo give it a go!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip-off, Emily! The whole website looks very promising. I didn't think the Laurel was really my style intially, but looking at some of the photos on Flickr, I think a few of the variations could be quite up my street. Thanks :)
