from McCall 4662 (1940's)
I made this (you have seen it before ;))
From McCall 4304 (1940s):
I made this:
Apparently I need to learn to pose better.
I made Simplicity 4738 (1943), but have yet to get a good photo of it. so We'll wait on that one.
From Simplicity 2017 (1948) I made view 1.
Kind of a fun pattern- here with a helper ;)
And from Simplicity 1538 (1947) I made view 3 with the sleeve from view 4 :)
Complete with silly look on my face :) You can just about see the yoke at the shoulder there...
The fabric was a real pain to work with, but I love how it looks and feels.
I also have one more pair of shorts (with a blouse almost completed) that I will show some other time :)
In the meantime- enjoy and happy creating!

wow, busy girl you are! Love them all. Great job, glad you posted them!
What fun! I'm so glad you left a comment on my fairies/brownies post, so that I could discover your blog.
Thank you both :) It has been fun!
LOVE these old patterns and your wonderful clothes!
Thanks for stopping by...I'd be embarrassed to have you visit Mockingbird Studio right now...what a mess.
Happy Fourth to you and yours,
Sharon
Thank you Sharon :)
LOL- I have two kids, I have seen huge messes- they don't tend to phase me much (especially if there are art and books in the room LOL)
Lovely sewing! I just discovered your blog via Pleasantview Schoolhouse, and was delighted to see that you are a fellow sewer and vintage pattern enthusiast. Your creations are lovely. I was particularly pleased to see that blouse pattern made up, as I have the same pattern in my stash, waiting to be used! What sort of fabric do you recommend for it?
Val- sorry I somehow missed your comment (I suspect I first saw it on a mobile device and just forgot to approve it!). Anyway, it is a lovely blouse pattern- I made the hem a little bigger than a rolled hem because I was using a cotton homespun fabric. In fact cotton is a great fabric for the blouse- just make it a lightweight one. Also I would venture a silk, rayon or lightweight blend would work too. Although I love quilting cotton, I am not sure that would work so well!
