Sew Through the Decades Challenge, Week Six: 1950's

Well, remember that 1950s pajama set I was making awhile back? I finally finished them. Even if they are a little late for the Sew Through the Decades Challenge on A Lemon Squeezy Home.  =) If you can't tell, I'm in a huge sewing mood right now. Which is great!

 Using "Ava Rose" fabric, vintage buttons, rick-rack from the 50s, and a vintage 1950s pattern.

I love the finished result. Even though I did make a mistake with cutting out the fabric for the top. =)

Sew Through the Decades Challenge, Week Seven: 1960's

1960's Dress for Hanne-col

A Lemon Squeezy Home's, Sew Through the Decades Challenge is back! Well, it was back last week but I didn't get pictures until today. :p This week era was the 60's. I made this dress for my sister, Hanne-col.  Using out-of-print Simplicity 3559.  




This pattern was a piece of cake to use. Even with those long darts that I tend to not like to sew. Don't know why. I would highly recommend this pattern. Just check the finished length before you cut out your fabric. =) I does run short - remember it's the sixties.
