Longtime lurker who has received so much inspiration from everyone here. I am Rita and have not been sewing all that long but really only sew with vintage patterns. My most recent project has been completing views A and B of McCall’s 5357.It took a while, but….wooohoo…I finally finished and thought I would share the finished looks. View A in a soft but sturdy cotton plaid; View B in silk taffeta. My poor dressforms just don't have the attitude of that pattern envelope.
