Little Black Car: Simplicity 1942 4102 Shy Sister of the Chicken Dress
http://littleblackcar.blogspot.com/2015/07/simplicity-1942-4102-shy-sister-of.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Simplicity 1942 4102 Shy Sister of the Chicken Dress. I did the fitting on Simplicity 4102 (the Chicken Dress. In 2011 and it works pretty well, so . . . away we go. I went home last night and cut most of the bodice pieces. The fabric is a slate-blue (darker in real life) VIP mini print. The pattern is pink and maroon so I'm using maroon rick-rack trim and buttons. Simplicity 1942 4102 Shy Sister. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. 31 Day Music Challenge.

Little Black Car: McCall's 2440 (1961): Back-wrap apron dress
http://littleblackcar.blogspot.com/2015/07/mccalls-2440-1961-back-wrap-apron-dress.html
Monday, July 13, 2015. McCall's 2440 (1961): Back-wrap apron dress. Good grief- now I'm even detouring from detours. I made McCall's 2440 five years ago, out of pink cotton-polyester. With pink and white gingham binding. It's pretty much the perfect summer housedress. The only thing I did "wrong" was that I was new to sewing at the time and didn't know to lower the bust darts/lengthen the bodice a little. This is a dress I can sew in a day, cat permitting.

Little Black Car: Simplicity 7627 (1976) peasant blouse Part I
http://littleblackcar.blogspot.com/2015/06/simplicity-7627-1976-peasant-blouse.html
Monday, June 1, 2015. Simplicity 7627 (1976) peasant blouse Part I. I've gotten totally distracted. A friend of mine and I got into a discussion awhile back about the Wiksten Tova. Shirt/dress pattern. Mostly about how 80% of them need FBA's. But, anyway . . . I have Simplicity 7627 (1976), which is pretty much the same idea:. I wish this were cotton so it would be a nice texture, but it's not. Oh, well. It was free. Destashing and all. I was in a textile frenzy this weekend. I probably sacrificed a ...

Monday, July 6, 2015. Simplicity 1942 4102 Shy Sister of the Chicken Dress Part II. I lazed around a lot this weekend but still got quite a bit of sewing done since I had already done the pattern alterations. I have to do a lot of hand finishing (inset belt lining, armscyes), the waist ties, the buttons, and the sleeve supports. Labels: Simplicity 1942 4102 Shy Sister. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://littleblackcar.blogspot.com/2015/07/mccalls-2440-1961-back-wrap-apron-dress_27.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. McCall's 2440 (1961) Back-wrap apron dress, Part IV. Well, I sure got behind on this. The yellow atomic print done:. And I ended up taking the flowered one apart and cutting a new bodice. Since the pockets and skirt were already cut, it didn't take me as long and I got it all put back together yesterday. I used slate blue binding this time- the lighter blue looked good but I like this better. I went to DSW to replace my black flats (the soles fell off! View my complete profile.

Another blog about American History. Monday, October 31, 2011. Centralized planning – 1941 was a banner production year for the auto industry, which was reluctant to abandon civilian production to make war material, and did so only under duress (and the promise of guaranteed profits of cost-plus contracts). War Production Board – set prices and determined production, since the entire economy was planned from Washington. Construction of new factories – at the governments expense, or with low cost go...
