Our Vintage sewing projects

This will be my favorite Sewcial.  

I want to start working right away so I can plan 

each detail of my sewing. 

I know I will have to do a large bust adjustment

 I do not have a waist so I have to plan to add for any darts

that go through my waist area.  

My shoulders are small and they slant

 so some shoulder work is something

 I always check (see my posting on shoulders) 

I have three to choose from

I need some Capri's it's gotten so hot,

Not easy to find pants for women in the vintage patterns.

All rights to the drawings belong to the Lutterloh family

So what will it be The vest type top?  The cuffed Capri

or the white top and chevron shirt? 

It takes a bit of looking to find the correct

patterns in the vintage patterns, the older they

are the more places the outfits end up.  

You have to be sure you have

all the parts of any outfit.  

Want to help me choose?

Here's what Ann is working on

I have noticed a decided dearth in Lutterloh patterns made up for men so I'm sewing for my brother this time around. I let him pick the pattern because I do want him to actually wear this shirt after all.  

My brother has finally worn through our father's shirts from the sixties. 

What better way to replace them than actually using a sixties pattern?! 

He has already requested a design change but it's only to the pockets so I agreed. 

I'm just waiting for the fabric to arrive!
