Vintage Sewing Pattern Pledge and MAGAM …

Linda of Lányos Handmade / Nice dress! Thanks, I made it!!

1990 - I really don't need a coat right now, but I do love view 3 - in a blanket-like fabric?

I can’t turn down a good Challenge!

I have slowly realized that I am not one to make New Year’s Resolutions … in life or in my sewing.  Instead, I just blather away about all the things I want to try this year … sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn’t … sometimes I plan one thing and it ends up being another!

I am finding though, being exposed to so many new things on these wonderful sewing blogs, that there are many, many “Challenges” out there and I am having a difficult time saying “No”.  Give me a Challenge and I will sign on!

So that is how I find myself signed up for FOUR Challenges in 2015 – this is going to be so fun!  There’s the RTW Fast 2015 and Jungle January and the 2015 Vintage Sewing Pattern Pledge! and the Make A Garment A Month Challenge!  I think I can do it all… really!   Seriously!

I already roared through the Jungle January Challenge.   Yippee!  Now I have to conquer the RTW Fast, the MAGAM Challenge (that one might be difficult!) and the Vintage Sewing Pattern Pledge.

I have a few vintage sewing patterns, given to me by my sister, that I could sew up.  (Thank you, Rose!)  I would like a vintage dress.  I would like a few actually.  I am unsure though how much time I have this year for sewing up vintage dresses.  So give me a hand here … which dress should I sew up first?  Let me know and I will start hunting through my fabric stash!

1989 – lots of bodice variations. I’d probably make short sleeves or a 3/4’s length sleeve.
1978 – a little plain for me. Would have to be short sleeves or a 3/4’s length sleeve  too.
1980 – looks plain but a nice fabric would really show it off!
1989 – I would have to leave out the shoulder pads – sorry!
1980 – again, no should pads please!
Take Our Poll

Here’s some more patterns from the 2 boxes my sister gave me …

I think these are from the 80's because of the shoulder pads. Can you narrow it down for me?
1990 - I really don't need a coat right now, but I do love view 3 - in a blanket-like fabric?
1986 - This one I like just because of the guy's hair!
1990 - I wonder how many copies of this one were purchased? I now have two, one from my sister and one of my own.
A very full, long skirt. Very fashionable for 1990!

Now these are not vintage, but they are “retro” patterns.  (click on one photo to start)

This one was given to me by “Sew Much 2 Learn”. Thank you again!
I think this one needs gloves and a hat!
Oh look! Gloves! (just need the Hat now!)

What do you think … can I pull off all these Challenges? and which vintage dress should I do first?  Love to hear from you!

Happy Sewing!
