The other day Louella and I went to the Vintage Textile fair - a once-a-year event. Only we didn't decide to go until late afternoon! >o<
The fair was awesome. It consisted of dozens of stores selling antiques, vintage clothes, hats, bags, and crafts. I managed to pick up a few new patterns!

| This pack contains a skirt, waistcoat, dress, trousers, and jacket pattern! |

| A simple, yet adorable, dress pattern |
This last one I also received from Louella. I've been meaning to start making it - I absolutely adore the neckline!
There's no year on it but at a guess I'd say it's a 1950s dress (would gladly accept some confirmation).
I toddled down to the local fabric store and purchased some fabric and bits and bobs. The pattern instructs for the seams to be bound, so I think I'll find this seam binding tutorial handy.
The fabric I'm using will be a green linen. I've found I'm terrible at picking out fabric - I can never quite make the connection between the fabric and the final outfit. I wanted to use some sort of dark green synthetic velvet but I believe it was expensive and I have no idea how to sew with it.
I don't have a picture of the fabric right now because it's in the wash, so here's my washing machine instead!
