YES! I took on quite the challenge! I'm going to make various patterns, one a month, over the next year from 1912. The first is a "challenge" pattern (above and beyond my monthly pattern). Challenge is the right word. I leave in a few days to take a trip with my daughters. My oldest daughter is on her post deployment leave from Afghanistan so this is a big deal. The challenge...what can I get done in the next couple of days and how much time will I have to do it when I get back! BUT...it is a slip and is just gorgeous! Also I just found a "new" vintage technique with ribbon I want to try on it. I will be posting my results soon.
Here is the link for the picture of the slip...http://vpll1912project.org/issue-12/
Oh, cool! Glad I'm not the only one testing the slip pattern. =)
ReplyDeleteI've been working on mine in half-scale today. I will blog my details when I finish in the next day or so, but wanted to warn you to cut ONE inch off of the center front pattern piece (the part that goes on the fold) - the princess seams are way off for a 36" bust! 2 full inches need to be removed from the pattern to put the seams in the right place unless you have a 42.5" bust.
I will let you know if I find any other crazy measurements.
