Pardon the dust

Hello dear readers, however many of you are still straggling along with me and my infrequent posting habits.  I’ve moved my blog (again) and am having some difficulty getting the posts to come with it.  I’ve realized I need a blogging solution I can do from anywhere, which my last one… was not.  So here we are, back on conventional hosting.  If I can convince myself to write, I promise that I have interesting things to report on soon, including a whole lot of sewing that has been happening lately.  In the meantime, here’s a sneak look at my latest make on Instagram:

I’ve finished up a second @gertie18 #nightanddaydress — but this time, with a few modifications since I am after all a home sewist. I wanted to have an uninterrupted border around the collar for this vintage cotton, so I moved the zipper from the center back to the side and cut the collar and back on the fold instead. I also ended up going for a plain gathered skirt instead of one of the skirts in the pattern just for simplicity and a slightly more 40s look. Paired with some Bakelite, @rocketoriginals and a vintage belt. ☀️🌙 #nightanddaydress #wesewretro #charmpatternsbygertie #vintagesewing #rocketoriginals #thedailybake #vintagefabric #dslr
