Simplicity Sewing

Hi everyone! I know that it's been some time since my last post. I've been keeping busy with some projects that I will share with you very soon.
However, as some of you may know, I have taken up some (light) sewing. As I've grown into the hobby, I've come to love vintage patterns. Classics never go out of style and I feel that these four Simplicity patterns I scored today fall into the timeless category. One was printed in the 1950's while the other three were printed in the 60's. You have no idea how excited I am about putting these together so I can wear them. Once I've mastered the techniques I will certainly create more to share with you all. Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

Thrift Store Finds: Vintage Sewing Patterns and Sewing Book

Yesterday I was on the hunt for sewing patterns that involved simple dress making. Luckily, I came across a 1970 Simplicity pattern set (the black and white dresses). The set also came along with Mod-style patterns, but I don't think I will attempt to create those until I become better at sewing.
I also purchased the book "Stitch by Stitch Vol. 2," an early 1980's style guide that shows you how to crochet sweaters, sew skirts, make pillows and more. And you would think that since the book is dated so would the outfits. But funny enough they fall right into today's trends.
I'm certainly excited about this new hobby I've decided to take on and I can't wait to share my finished products with you all. Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile
