I love the 40s dress one though. I'm not too sure about the 1930s flouncy pattern though, that is a definite one to just wear at home!

With the exception of Vogue 9546, all of the vintage patterns I've made up so far have been 1950s onwards, so I've not come across that method of finishing. That's precisely the sort of change I'd hope to come across by making up patterns from different decades.

Firstly, that 1920s coat!! I would really love to make that up in a stunning silk printed velvet. <br />With the 1930s patterns, I actually find they sew up to look very much like the illustrations, at least all the ones I've done so far have. Also, I would so wear those beach pyjamas. I love the yoke on the one with the puff sleeves but for me ruffles win every time. I have to say I'm rather envious that you have an original beach pyjama pattern, they really are quite rare.<br />Lastly, facings weren't very common pre-1950s. Instead the seam allowance was turned over and hidden beneath something like rayon tape. I actually love this way of finishing the edges, it's so much easier. My 1930s sewing book actually only mentions facings if they're added to the outside of the garment, like the beach pyjamas with the yoke.

This was before she worked out she preferred separates. The bottom one looks familiar though I don't remember having it myself, I think it's very similar in artwork to one of the New Look patterns I made up during the earlier part of that era.Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06409673383518447394noreply@blogger.com
