Sewing ♥ Vintage ♥ Knitting: Finished Lutterloh 29!

http://anthea-retrovintage.blogspot.com/2014/07/finished-lutterloh-29.html

I didn't think I would be able to finish a sewing project before moving home. But I did! This will probably the last sewing project at my old place. So, it's a good closure! I recreated this dress from the 1941 Lutterloh pattern book. What I really like about this dress is the pocket detail, the notched collar and of course the puffed sleeves :). Whil writing the blogpost I realised I forgot about the pockets at hip level. Well, I don't like accentuating my hips anyway! What else can I say? I love this d...

Sewing ♥ Vintage ♥ Knitting: Finished: A 40s trio

http://anthea-retrovintage.blogspot.com/2014/06/finished-40s-trio.html

Finished: A 40s trio. I finally had time to take some pictures of my 40s trio garments! The trio consists of a blouse, skirt and purse all made by me! You've seen the blouse earlier this year on this blog. It's a 40s pattern with lots of pin tucks and lace insertions. I think this blouse is very classic and elegant and really makes a white(ish) blouse more interesting. I always wanted a 40s crocheted purse. And it would be even better to make my own. Luckily Ingrid of Couturette. Shared some free pattern...

Sewing ♥ Vintage ♥ Knitting: Sewing update!!

http://anthea-retrovintage.blogspot.com/2015/05/sewing-update.html

The slacks are almost finished. I only need to add the waistband, hem the trouser legs and add a button and buttonhole. I am sorry for the bad light; the photo is made with a crappy camera. And while working on these trousers a got an idea for a matching blouse. Immediately I knew which fabric and which pattern I should use. Isn't it great when things come together like this :). I want to make view B/C. Have you ever made bound buttonholes? And what is your favourite method? May 31, 2015 at 6:29 AM.

Sewing ♥ Vintage ♥ Knitting: Don't feel like doing anything

http://anthea-retrovintage.blogspot.com/2014/07/dont-feel-like-doing-anything.html

Don't feel like doing anything. I know it's been a while since my last update. The problem is I don't feel like crafting or blogging these days. The main reason is that I'm going to move to another place. My mind is completely focused on moving and I feel a bit restless about it. So focussing on my hobbies is pretty hard at the moment. I'm not sure about the aim of this blogpost. I guess I wanted to share with you what's going on at the moment. Have a nice weekend! July 11, 2014 at 5:18 PM. Maybe you mig...

Sewing ♥ Vintage ♥ Knitting: I'm back!

http://anthea-retrovintage.blogspot.com/2014/10/im-back.html

It's been a while since my last post. I moved to a new place and it took lots of time to get it ready. The previous renter had lived here for years and he was a heavy smoker. Everything was sooo filthy! But now it's all clean and freshly painted :) Last weekend I moved to my new home, and this week I spent time unpacking boxes. Today I had the feeling it's time to get back to blogging, sewing and knitting! I haven't been sewing or knitting for months, but it's good to be back! How have you been doing?

Eat The Blog: Mono(tonous)Chrome

http://eattheblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/monotonouschrome.html

Saturday, August 01, 2015. I'm like a stuck record of late-black, white, repeat. Which reminds me of my favourite joke:. Q: Pete, and Re-Pete are sitting on a fence. Pete falls off, so who is left? Q: OK Pete and Re-Pete are sitting on a fence. Perhaps if there were a prize for drawing on my eyebrows evenly I could feel motivated to at least, try. I mean, I have a lot of chest to work with. Maybe something like,. Get the hell off my. Something to think about anyway. Vintage Naturalizer shoes-Thrift World.

Betty Stitchup: April 2015

http://bettystitchup.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 28 April 2015. Cherry Blossoms in Autumn. I bought this pretty cherry blossom print cotton on my last visit to Japan and paired it with New Look 6002. The pattern comes with 3 different bodice and waistband variations. I made View B with a plain waistband. I had previously used View C for the bodice of my Flamingo Frankenpattern. Well, it may not be Spring here, and I may not be in Japan, but I can put on my cherry blossom dress and pretend! Saturday, 11 April 2015. This is my second Dolores.

But it can't be from Dolly Clackett. She gave me an Easter egg!: All the professional actors write their lines on each other's clothes. The longer the play, the bigger the shirt!

But it can't be from Dolly Clackett. She gave me an Easter egg! Sunday, August 02, 2015. All the professional actors write their lines on each other's clothes. The longer the play, the bigger the shirt! How's Sunday treating everyone? I hope that it won't become a big problem, but I have let a trusted colleague know how I've been feeling and she's been watching it out for it too. Anyway. I'm on holiday now. Yay! Again - I think it will look better from the back with a little bit more shaping around the a...
