Doesn't she look like a geriatric SJP? It's uncanny! So far, I've graded the front and back bodice pieces up to a 36 bust and have started making a toile. It seems to fit very nicely although I won't really know until I attach the yoke collar. I think I've nutted out how to grade that pattern piece and the sleeve, now I just need the time. I'll be using the yoke to practice doing my first bound buttonhole too. They look so tailored.
I need and really want to start sewing some clothing for Lola, my youngest. She's just started walking which makes dresses much more viable and I didn't get to indulge in making dresses with her two brothers, funnily enough!
The number one priority though, will be a newborn gift for our neighbours who are expecting their first bub, a little girl. She's a few days overdue actually, so I really need to get my butt into gear! I'll be making Style 1825 in view 4:
It's from 1979 (a particularly good vintage ;0)) which just makes it under my 80s cut-off point.
