Thank you and enjoy.
I thoroughly enjoyed this post, I cannot stop looking at it, everything so detailed even a person that cannot sew will be able to understand. I have trouble in printing a larger size pattern but will figure it out………….Tkxs.
Thank you so much I am just beginning to learn sewing. The 50s dress pattern is going to help me more than you know.
If you need any advice while sewing it just give me a shout.
Hello,
I don’t know if its me being daft but I can only see half the instructions for the 50’s dress? Its my first time making something this complex and wanted to get it right 🙂 thank you!
Yup me being daft, never mind
no worries and if you have any questions when making the dress just send me a shout via my contact form and I will do what I can to help 🙂
I just adore your vintage patterns , thank you so much for sharing them
Thank you Ann, I hope you make some lovely things with them!
I have searched and searched for the 50’s Hawaiian dress with knotted shoulders – free sewing pattern – Sew Different, and am unable to get the downloaded pattern. I have tried and tried to download it with no results.
I’m not clear Linda whether you can’t actually find the pattern or just can’t dl it ….anyway the dress used by Sew Different was my 50’s style Dress which is on my free stuff page below the Bias Slip pattern and above the little black handbag… I just checked the download links and they seem to all be working ( checked via both Chrome and Safari browsers). The pattern for the shoulder knot was on the Sew Different page last time I looked.
Love, love, love your designs! Thank you!
Could you point me toward a tutorial, or offer a word of guidance on how to enlarge the bust pieces on the bias slip. The total circumference is perfect, but my shape is a bit atypical. It is a beautiful pattern, by the way, and making is successfully was so satisfying! Thank you.
Hi Sarah, it really depends on how/where exactly you need to enlarge those pieces. For instance if your bust is lower than where the bust seam is you’d need to add to the bottom of the bust pieces and scoop a similar amount away from the main slip body. I can give you more specific advice if you’d like to email me via my contact form
(it’s under the drop down menu at the top of the page) and tell me more about the adjustment you want to make.
Thank goodness I’ve found you! I’ve been teaching myself to sew over the last 3 years and found you by looking for a bias-cut slip pattern. I plan to print and figure out how to size up for my plus figure, but I’ll let you know how it goes. LOVE your work and look forward to more patterns!
I’m glad you found me too 🙂 As to sizing up patterns have a look at the Threads grading link in my sidebar, it’s a good method!
Thank you that was my question 🙂 too

This is a wonderful post. I am just returning to the joy of sewing!!
You have inspired me to start making again. Thank you
Thank you Val, that is the best reaction I’ve heard in a while… best of luck with getting back to making!!
Thank you for your lovely work
You are welcome! 🙂
I sent photos, I hope you got them! It’s 3am here in Alaska and I can’t see straight from sewing the Stole so I hope I sent photos to the proper email account
I did and thanks so much, a gorgeous result!
I have a question, on the Stole, where and when did you insert the pompom ties?
The ties are inserted at the same level as the pleats and they get sewn in when the fabric and fur layers are bagged out at the centre fronts. I can see now that is not clear in the instructions…. I will fix that as soon as I can.
Thank you So much for your quick response. I just started cut out last night and planning on sewing today! After studying the pattern and photos I see in the picture where you show how it’s done. The materials blend so it makes it look like you are just showing the pleated front and not the insertion of the ties. Thank you again!! I can’t wait to put it All together! You are amazing!
just give me a shout if anything else needs clarifying. I’d love to see what you make!
Where have you been all my life ! Love it all thankyou
🙂 🙂 🙂
Love your. Patterns.
🙂 thanks!
What fun patterns!!! Going to give the party dress a try.
It appears that the Bodice Tile pdf has been blocked out?
I checked through all my links and from this end all appear to work. Perhaps try your download from a different browser… ie if you use Firefox try Chrome?
Love your site which I have found through Pinterest. I love the blanket coat
Hi Janet, I’m glad you stopped in! Enjoy the blanket coat pattern 🙂
A wonderful collection. Well done!
Thanks Sharon, hope you found something you will use 🙂
