Intro and a Challenge

Greetings fellow Vintage Sewists!

I'm Mary from Lebanon, Oregon, longtime sewist recently come back to sewing clothes for myself. One of my New Year's goals is to sew a wardrobe for myself from Vintage or Vintage-inspired patterns, and this dress is to be the first:



A blog-friend, Christy, and I were having a discussion some weeks ago and challenged each other to sew up S3673 in the month of January. Anyone want to join us?

I have my version all cut out in a very light teal wool that I'll line with black silk. I interfaced the whole piece with very thin iron-on interfacing before cutting, as the wool was rather limp, and I hope it isn't going to be too stiff. Next up will be a pair of wide-legged pants ala Marlene from some fab charcoal wool.
