Pendrell Blouse

Fabric: Red silk (leftover from my Rococo garment)
Patterns: Sewaholic Patterns 1001
Time to complete: 3 hours
First worn: February 2011
Wear again? Yes

Another project to use up fabric. I am not quite satisfied with the result. I am not sure it it is flattering for me. First day I wear it, I spoiled it with oil. It seems that it washed out, but the fabric let a lot of color in the water. Good to know, so I will not wash this in the machine. And I am sorry for the bad picture, but I still had no time for ironing it. Will make worn pics as soon as possible.




Secretary Dress

Fabric: Blue and black wool
Patterns: McCall´s 5507
Year:1960
Time to complete: 5 hours
First worn: February 2011
Wear again? Yes

Second piece for my vintage challenge. It was really easy to sew. And the wool was good to work with. I am not sure about the finished dress. Maybe it´s not my type of garment.

Lady Grey Coat

Fabric: Red wool and Lining
Patterns: Colette 1010
Time to complete: 10 hours
First worn: February 2011
Wear again? Yes

I finally finished this coat. If you remeber I wanted to sew it since December last year, but skipped it again and again. Main reason was that I was scared of it. I didn´t want to make a mistake and ruin this. Fortunately almost all went well and after a while I love to wear this coat. It´s a very unusal cut and the color is love.
