Success! Simplicity 4911 suit finished.

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to report - and show evidence - that I have finally finished my 1940s Simplicity suit.

 Yep, that is one daft pose BUT the one that shows the suit properly isn't smiley enough and I didn't want to scare people off this website... I'll do that at my own! :0)

More pictures and a quick story of what went wrong, what went right and what I'd change next time at my blog, Crimson Gardenia

Hello from me and my Simplicity 4911

Hello all,
Longtime lurker, first time poster Denise here.
After reading all of your wonderful posts, I decided it was really time I got my act together, joined Sew Retro and posted a few of my own creations.
However... Simplicity 4911 has almost defeated me... I think its been almost 12 months in the making now and I'm so close to finishing, but I've lost all will. :0)

Come on over to my blog, CrimsonGardenia, for the continuing saga, a weird collar fix and a picture of the project so far.

And no, that isn't the original envelope that I bought from Miss Helene's - it was rapidly disintegrating so I photocopied it and made a new one... and drew some feet and shoes back in... I had to - they couldn't NOT have shoes with those suits, right?

Denise
