Last Saturday I set aside some time to do some sewing for myself. I made a dress from the cool 1940s blue Bemberg rayon that I bought at a local antique shop several months ago (5 yards for $10) and the pattern came from ebay. The fabric is soft and cool, perfect for Summer. The top I made from some fabric that came from my Grandmother. I don't know how old the fabric is, but it does have an older washed-out kind of look, which I really liked. I made the outline shape by copying another blouse that I had. The fabric was a small piece, so I ended up with a seam down the middle. I trimmed the seam with pink piping to make the seam a little better looking. I added the green ribbon to the waist to give it a little more shape too.
Bye for now, Carol
