I was really into them when I was a teenager, and I think I've been hoarding this fabric since I was 17. I finally decided to do something about it, and stretched it onto a spare frame that I had.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-v0VNUGju_M/TSwA8c-PkkI/AAAAAAAAAEM/TuWX3DzfOCQ/s1600/wall2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="313" width="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-v0VNUGju_M/TSwA8c-PkkI/AAAAAAAAAEM/TuWX3DzfOCQ/s400/wall2.jpg" /></a></div><br /> The frame is a bit bigger than A2 size.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-v0VNUGju_M/TSwAW9pXq9I/AAAAAAAAAD8/O0vyIOUxTlw/s1600/onwall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="311" width="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-v0VNUGju_M/TSwAW9pXq9I/AAAAAAAAAD8/O0vyIOUxTlw/s400/onwall.jpg" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7247487935090341277-8231534504826634675?l=kaleidoscope-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11671657095838107901noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247487935090341277.post-30143244761381149322011-01-08T18:15:00.000-08:002011-01-10T22:42:57.674-08:00Today, I had a blitz on preparation and cut out FOUR different projects.<br /> <br /> Shirt 1 in this 70s pattern with a huge Peter Pan collar:<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-v0VNUGju_M/TSvx9nJvyMI/AAAAAAAAADE/7ViqagggdCs/s1600/butterick5891.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-v0VNUGju_M/TSvx9nJvyMI/AAAAAAAAADE/7ViqagggdCs/s400/butterick5891.jpg" width="255" /></a></div><br /> I successfully made a great shirt from this pattern last week, so I'm going for round two.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-v0VNUGju_M/TSvye0APdBI/AAAAAAAAADI/gaMVs1fUx-A/s1600/carshirt-cutout.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-v0VNUGju_M/TSvye0APdBI/AAAAAAAAADI/gaMVs1fUx-A/s400/carshirt-cutout.jpg" width="280" /></a></div><br /> Great print: old-timey motorcars. This was probably intended for an eight-year-old's pillowcase, but I don't care.<br /> <br /> Shirt 2 is this Burda pattern:<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-v0VNUGju_M/TSvzWB91VHI/AAAAAAAAADM/K9JCqcaQAuE/s1600/burda-2561.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-v0VNUGju_M/TSvzWB91VHI/AAAAAAAAADM/K9JCqcaQAuE/s400/burda-2561.jpg" width="278" /></a></div><br /> Classic and simple. <br /> <br /> Garments 3 & 4 are a waistcoat and pants combo.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-v0VNUGju_M/TSvz05Y4djI/AAAAAAAAADQ/JBmjpjJeAQc/s1600/pants-waistcoat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-v0VNUGju_M/TSvz05Y4djI/AAAAAAAAADQ/JBmjpjJeAQc/s400/pants-waistcoat.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /> I'm going to try out the McCalls, and adapt the Vogue pattern into a knickerbocker-style pant.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-v0VNUGju_M/TSv2kHCMMPI/AAAAAAAAADU/xnno858C5FI/s1600/pantswaistcoat-cutout.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-v0VNUGju_M/TSv2kHCMMPI/AAAAAAAAADU/xnno858C5FI/s400/pantswaistcoat-cutout.jpg" width="392" /></a></div><br /> The fabric is some really lovely chocolate brown medium-weight cotton that I got from Global Fabrics.<br /> <br /> I will have a stylish outfit or two when I've made this all up!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7247487935090341277-3014324476138114932?l=kaleidoscope-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11671657095838107901noreply@blogger.com0
