these are the two other patterns that i could not get to show up right on my previous post.

Vintage girl dresses

So, among my other umpteen projects, i would also like to try out these patterns that i am in love with. I am considering resizing one or all of them along with the lady's patterns that i have selected, since a child pattern takes less room and therefore less cost in printing. Here are my three current favorites with fabric i have already. First is a late 30's, pleat-front number. So cute in a ladybug print with white cuffs and collar. I am planning to embroider daisies on the collar and use ladybug buttons. Pretty cute, i think. It is a size 6, for now, so i will have to think of someone extra cute to make it for....hmmmmm.....
Then here is my second choice...a swinging little 40's number with a shaped yoke and buttons on the side for closure. And i realize that these pictures are not how i wanted them to be, but i am not sure how to get them in the right order. sigh. Now i cannot post the other ones at all. I will figure this out eventually.
So the second one is going to be a blue with a blue floral for the yoke , sleeves and waist band. with blue buttons.
The third one is a side buttoning dress from the late 3o's. I am going to make the view like the blue one with short sleeves and a bow. I have enough of this pink satin, and though dressy, it will be Small One's size next spring. Any votes? Which one do you like the best? Which do you think would be the most popular for others to sew?

This is my inaugural post, and it is freaking me out.

Don't get too ramped up folks, just testing out the old blogging skill set. There are so many things you have to DO to be able to post successfully. I feel like my PawPaw when remotes came out and he decided that it was a plot to keep him from his blessed Welk show. But i digress. I am trying to figure out how to add all the charming freebies that people like the Impossibly Peppy and Talented Cynthia have shown me, and yet i am still at a loss. Perhaps i will figure it all out, but i am sure not before saying "Kids these days...when i was a girl in the '80's..." at least half a dozen times. I am trying unsuccessfully not to suffer from "Blog Envy", which i am sure is one of the deadly sins. This was supposed to be low-key, remember, Kat? oh yeah.

Here is my current wonder girl, Kitty. Making this sample, then resizing the pattern to modern sizing 6-14 will be my first set of posts. I have already cut the first sample out of a charming yarn-dyed,cherry red/pink plaid so it will look very similar to the view on the right. The second sample i have planned is a mustard yellow calico with small rose and white stylized flowers. It is very "feed bag fabric" and i am planning to use the 3/4 sleeves on it, so i can see the difference. I may also use eyelet for the ruffling if it does not look too juvenile.
Ok, so that is all i have going on right now.
cheerio,
Aunt Kat
