We're getting a little bowful of cherry tomatoes each day right now, and maybe one or two "big" ones, mostly the yellow tomatoes right now but the Cherokee purples are starting to turn purple! I too used a reprint Simplicity pattern for a 30's dress a few years ago, I wonder if it was the same pattern? <br /><br />Heather, I admire you for handsewing! Some of the most wonderful seamstresses I know (Lauren for example!) sew mostly all the time by hand. I usually use my machine for the main parts and hand sew finishing things if I have to. I really ought to handsew more. The flannel quilt sounds wonderful and cozy!<br /><br />Jenni, I do hope you try vintage styles! I'd love to see what you come up with. You are an amazing seamstress and put so much into all the things you make, I know it would be a feast for the eyes for sure! <br /><br />And yes, I asked my mom once if the belly bulge would go away and she said nope. :) I guess it is a badge of motherhood!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713535191616985475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-36211912686374492512010-07-20T14:32:41.400-05:002010-07-20T14:32:41.400-05:00Sarah,

My favorite part of the dress is the yoke...adorable! Your little vintage dresses are inspiring me to make some of my own. <br /><br />(*also...I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that has to deal with the "post baby buldge" as you called it*)Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11894247974983793889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-15130087021159409482010-07-20T13:59:12.828-05:002010-07-20T13:59:12.828-05:00Hi Sarah...

I bought a singer sewing machien at Target a few years back...thinking I'd make quilts etc. Well, no, I have never used the machine...yet...anyway..and any sewing I've done has been by hand,mainly on a flannel quilt I'm working on!!! :) :) <br />I love 1930s things...of course I love anything vintage...1940s or earlier!!! Have a great Tuesday. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)Heather's Blog-o-ramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490555197097928275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-17812751736846016292010-07-20T07:45:53.849-05:002010-07-20T07:45:53.849-05:00Sarah, your dress is adorable and flattering on yo...Sarah, your dress is adorable and flattering on you (and I think your hairstyle is cute, brushed out or not)! I'm so happy you're foraging into 1930s styles as I can live vicariously and make up the for the lack of vintage sewing I've done lately. ;-)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234162572763034574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-48266131020051142242010-07-19T22:39:09.236-05:002010-07-19T22:39:09.236-05:00I love 30's clothes on you.

I've done 1 square neckline that I recall and didn't have a problem. Maybe it was the fabric? The skirt looks fine on you. You are too hard on yourself. You don't look pudgy at all, and you definitely have a waist. I'm with you on the pockets. I think the dress would look too 'around the house' with them. As it is, it's acceptable for at home and going out. <br /><br />I hope you're staying cool! Your veggies look wonderful in your last post. We are getting a few tomatoes every day or so. I bought a bag of chips in anticipation of getting enough for a bowl of fresh salsa.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117120475033380036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-65966422248571921902010-07-19T21:09:07.778-05:002010-07-19T21:09:07.778-05:00Dear Sarah,

The blue is a great color on you and the dress is extremelly flatering :)<br /><br />I also do not like square necklines. They tend to frame my face all wrong :) <br /><br />I like the skirt...and I agree, this dress is everyday wear - very pretty everyday wear ;).<br /><br />Thank you for being such an inspiration to all of us that visit your lovely place.<br /><br />Blessings!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-60370747113285673772010-07-19T20:22:16.918-05:002010-07-19T20:22:16.918-05:00I'm trying to think of who you remind me of.

Finally! My hair fits somewhere in history! :P I need to experiment more, David does like the styles from this time very much and complimented me on my hair several times. When I brushed it out last night, it was SOO poufy. I think I could manage a passable style if I sat down and really tried and had a few hours of uninterruped time. (yeah, like that will ever happen! :) ) <br /><br />Hope Anne (BTW I love your name!) I think you are exactly right. This is just for everyday wear, and most people who will see me wear it will have no idea if the fabric is period correct or not, nor even know what decade this style is from. It falls under the general heading of "old fashioned", I suppose. :) As long as you like it, I agree, it is fine to use for everyday wear! Your daughter sounds a lot like me when I was that age! I was just getting into regency styles then and made my first regency gown from the original S&S pattern, out of a pretty floral, but definitely not period correct, cotton print. I loved that dress though and felt beautiful in it. That dress was the start of my love for recreating historic fashion!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713535191616985475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-898449227996195792010-07-19T12:21:49.428-05:002010-07-19T12:21:49.428-05:00There's lots to like about this dress!

My 14 year old Dd has cut out a Regency era dress in a print that I'm sure isn't Regency Era, but she loves it, and that's good enough, as she's making the dress just to be a comfortable, flowing every-day gown. No need to be 100% period for that, unless you really WANT to.Happymom4 aka Hope Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853646859979784516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-39375065880222228382010-07-19T11:03:37.693-05:002010-07-19T11:03:37.693-05:00This turned out really sweetly Sarah!
