This morning's mail brought a much anticipated 1933 knitting book full of bathing suits and beach fashions. I'm updating them, cleaning them up and posting the patterns a couple at a time to my etsy shop. Here are the two that I had so much fun coloring today:

In other news, I have a great image of a most indispensable tool and decided to scan it in and help you create your own, should you want one. This scallop ruler is so handy for adding scalloped edges to your sewing projects, and for re-drafting the scallops on a pattern that you've adjusted the size of.
To make your own, you can just print it out on thick paper and cut, or print it on regular paper and paste it to thick construction paper.
Get the free Scallop Ruler PDF.
This could come in awful handy if you have the Mrs. Depew Vintage Bias Tap Pantie Pattern and plan on sizing it up or down.
Stay tuned for more this week including two new sewing projects I've completed, updates on the Sewing Studio Redecorating effort, and hopefully the release of a new sewing pattern, if I can bear to be at the computer for long enough!
I LOVE those vintage bathing suits! Have you seen these vintage suits on retronaut? I came across it the other day. http://www.retronaut.co/2012/01/sennett-bathing-beauties-1915/
ReplyDeleteWow, nice patterns. thanks for the ruler pdf and unbelievable price for a pattern, but it is quite a lovely dress.
ReplyDeleteGirl you have been busy - you are leaving us with so much anticipation! I can't wait for your next few posts. That scallop ruler looks like an awesome tool. I just may have to use it in a future project or two - I love how the seam allowances are included.
