I spent lots of time sewing this year on costumes and retro/vintage clothing.

Retro is great for themed parties and murder mysteries!

Here's a few of my garments; I apologize to those of you who have seen them already!

I love these so much -- especially the last few -- was looking for vintage patterns before halloween to be a dead "homemaker" from the 50's. Not that I could sew it, though!
Great work!

Thanks so much!!!!

There are older posts in this thread of other things I've made....

I'm glad you like the retro ones. I collect vintage patterns and sew from them. The second and third dresses (40's taupe w/ hat and 50's ice blue) were entered in a vintage sewing competition. While I didn't place for a prize (I knew I wasn't a contender), they took 5th and 6th out of 71 entries.

Well thats pretty darn good! Where do you get your patterns?

Mostly from ebay, but I've also scored some from garage sales.
