Thank you everyone for all of your kind comments on my recent Fall Home Tour. As promised here is A Downton Abbey Inspired Dress.

The exhibit focused on the artists' last works from 1913 to 1926. I decided to create a dress style from the late Edwardian/early teens era. As such a dress would take a bit of time and ...

A Fun Summer Frock
It has been HOT and HUMID here in Texas! I love to simply slide on a cool cotton dress if I have to run an errand. This is truly A Fun Summer Frock featuring a floral fabric embellished with rick rack. Advance Pattern 7753 I had found the vintage Advance Pattern 7753, as well as the vintage fabric, a few months ago at an estate sale. I think I spent a whopping ONE DOLLAR for both items. The Advance Pattern Company released sewing patterns from 1933 until 1966. The patterns were sold ... View the Post
