I am making a vintage 1973 dress out of a vintage sheet. I love the details, and the workers in the costume shop told me that the fabric is rare. :D
The instructions actually look pretty easy!
It's the second gray dress! I got the pattern at Salvation Army for .79 cents! Woop woop! This will be the least expensive piece of clothing I have made.
AND just in case you didn't already see it (here or here) my blouse is done! I actually wore it to a friend's birthday party last weekend! :)
love, polly :)

That fabric is soo pretty. I love that it is simplistic but detailed at the same time. I can't wait to see the end result. And the kitty is so cute, I love that gray patch over it's eye.
The fabric is really beautiful! I can't wait to see the finished product... and to finally start to learn to sew one day! ; )
Your blouse looks phenomenal by the way. You must have a special glow of pride when you wear something you've made!
I can't wait to see the finnished product! Im positive its going to look great! Great deal on getting it. Thrift stores are always surprising us arent they?
Goodluck with making it!!

just came across your blog from elsie! I have this pattern too! It was my moms when she was younger, and used it to make her graduation dress! I can't wait to see the finished dress! Maybe it will get my butt in gear to use this pattern too!
Oh, I'm such a pain, I'm browsing a bunch of old entries on your blog (via the sidebar buttons) but I must know: how did the dress come out? The fabric is so lovely!
