Vintage Sewing Pledge & MMM’14

My Weekend Wardrobe project has expanded into participation in the Vintage Sewing Pattern Pledge.

I, Allie Massey, pledge to sew five vintage patterns from my stash in 2014.

The first is my whole Weekender Wardrobe pattern, of course.

I also want to master this nice little blouse pattern, Butterick 3324:

I think all three of these are very wearable.

So I have made a little white wearable muslin version of View C, which is not quite acceptable for out-of-house-wear, and therefore has been worn out of the house like 5 times already. But that is good, because it shows I will get good use out of tops made from this pattern! If you were curious, the ties on A and B are actually different! The tie on A is cut to go in the same direction when loosely tied like that, and the one on B is cut to be symmetrical when tied in a bow.

The next two are two cute pajama sets (one for me and one for my man):

Doesn\’t she just look so darn cute?

And these fine gentlemen have a lot of things to get done, clearly. I like their loafers.

Also, why are men\’s patterns just short, average, tall, while we ladies have to deal with misses, miss, petite, junior, teen…? I\’m sure I\’m forgetting other \”sizes\” that are so hard to decipher! Boo.

Finally, I\’ll be sewing up a little something special that you will have to pop over here to see (no boys allowed, this means you, Alex).

And that makes five! Thanks to Marie for inspiration!

With all these lovely separates I will (presumably) have made, it will be perfect for Me Made May, which I cannot believe is here again already! So:

I, Allie of missalliemass, pledge to wear one or more me-made item of clothing 5 days a week.

Oh! but didn\’t I say every day last year? I did! But I also realize that some days I never get \”dressed\” and wear workout clothes all day because I am lazy/a 24 year old sorority girl/whatever I don\’t need an excuse. This year I\’m only saying 5 days a week, and hopefully I will manage to take some decent pictures to make up for those missing two days. Y\’all know my pictures last year were not great 🙂 hopefully this year they will be better.
