Nan from Nans News from the North sent me this lovely pattern. Thank you, Nan! Check out her blog, she has been sewing for many years and lives in Alaska. So today as part of my appreciation for the online sewing community I made up the 40's blouse pattern she sent to me. The oversize collar frames the face well and fit is comfortable. This blouse will be great paired with a skirt or some shorts. It's also easy everyday vintage styling. I am finding I need a few of these kinds of garments to live in. I have lots of dresses, but often times yard work, tending to the chickens, baking and doing life keeps me from wearing the vintage clothes I love so much. This is a great way to "go vintage" on a hectic day and still have some comfort. Even as I have highlighted Nan today, you too have been just wonderful beyond words. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, to all of you who have left me a comment, sent a email and offered your knowledge on your fabulous crafting/sewing blogs. I know I have learned so much from YOU! So keep those tips coming and remember you may never know who you have helped and encouraged along the way with your gift of creativity. Hugs to you all.
Have a great vintage day,
Gina
The blouse is soooo lovely! So sweet of Nan to send that pattern! It's another I just love.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I too need more practical vintage style pieces. *sigh* But pretty dresses are so fun...
ReplyDeleteAwe, it's just darling Gina. I love the cheerful fabric and you've paired it with some cute accessories.
ReplyDeleteGina thanks for posting this. I spotted myself in my blog roll on your blog, funny! So glad you used this and like the blouse it's perfect on you. I am constantly seeing young women like yourself here where I live wearing the most awful clothing that is on racks today, it's sad when there are so many pretty choices out there in patterns if one can sew like you do.
ReplyDeleteOh! This is so great! I just adore Nan's blog and so glad you made this blouse from a pattern she sent you! I'll be sure to highlight this in the Sew Grateful Week projects round-up post! xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteaww, thats sweet
ReplyDeleteHow cute.. I love the checks.. Looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteWow! So cute! This is a fun vintage dress every day, love, love the oversize collar, you are a blessing on earth, Gina.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool little blouse! I love separates from the 40's, I find they're really useful little utility garments with a touch of style.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. :)
Cute blouse! It looks so nice and wearable, something that you can just throw on with almost any pants/skirt and looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteDivine! Makes me wish I'd bought more gingham than I did on this trip home to the mainland. You look marvelous in this ?lavendar? color, too, by the way. Seriously jealous of that! HA!
