My finished Sew for Victory dress

April 24, 2014 by Tasha 57 Comments

Sew for Victory, the 1940s-themed sew-along challenge that Rochelle is running for the second year, has been going strong! And I'm finished up with my project. (Speaking of which, did you see Rochelle's adorable Tula Pink meets Wearing History blouse yesterday??) A couple of weeks ago you got to see my Sew for Victory wearable muslin, and today I'm sharing my finished dress. Now, this is nowhere near as complicated ... Read more »

My birthday balloon dress (aka Sew for Victory wearable muslin)

April 10, 2014 by Tasha 46 Comments

Happy birthday to meeee! It's a pretty great day. Spring is finally here (omg, a few things are even blooming and the grass is slowly turning from brown back to green!). We're taking a trip to Dublin at the end of the month and I just can't wait. I have a fabulous gift from Mel waiting for me to open later (yes, I already know what it is). And I love birthdays! Last year, I sewed a wrap dress for my birthday. Ironically ... Read more »

My finished Sew for Victory jacket

March 26, 2013 by Tasha 120 Comments

Oh yeah! I introduce to you the best thing I've ever sewn. That's right, my Sew for Victory jacket is complete! Can you believe it? Be prepared for a bucketload of photos. Because let's be real here. Internally, I'm actually shouting, "HOLY SHIT I CAN'T BELIEVE I SEWED THIS OMG!!" It started over a month ago when Rochelle announced the 1940s-themed Sew for Victory sewalong, and with my crazy little idea that since I ... Read more »

40s jacket progress: the last steps

March 24, 2013 by Tasha 16 Comments

While you're not seeing it today, my Sew for Victory jacket is now complete! I'm super anxious to share it with you, but I'm staying on track so I can just share the remaining construction bits. I'm also being sneaky and going to show only up close photos until the final reveal (soon!). When I last left off, I showed you the lining. Once the lining was complete, the final remaining steps were to sew the band at the ... Read more »

40s jacket progress: the lining (sewing & attaching)

March 21, 2013 by Tasha 28 Comments

Well everyone, my Sew for Victory jacket continues! I have never spent so long thinking about and working on a sewing project, so I'm sorry my non-jacket posts are few and far between right now. ;) I am so close to being finished I can taste it! But today I'm going to catch up where I last left off. The last post was about sewing the shell, and today's post is about the lining. This is a really long post, you've ... Read more »

40s jacket progress: the outer shell

March 18, 2013 by Tasha 21 Comments

Last Monday I started cutting out all my pieces for my Sew for Victory jacket. And let me tell you, fabric, underlining and lining... that's a lot of cutting. Phew. So far things have been going pretty well, so I thought I'd catch you up on the assembly of the jacket shell. One thing you may find interesting is that I'm paying very little attention to the actual instructions in my pattern. Why? Two important ... Read more »
