Sewing ♥ Vintage ♥ Knitting: Finished: A 40s trio
http://anthea-retrovintage.blogspot.com/2014/06/finished-40s-trio.html
Finished: A 40s trio. I finally had time to take some pictures of my 40s trio garments! The trio consists of a blouse, skirt and purse all made by me! You've seen the blouse earlier this year on this blog. It's a 40s pattern with lots of pin tucks and lace insertions. I think this blouse is very classic and elegant and really makes a white(ish) blouse more interesting. I always wanted a 40s crocheted purse. And it would be even better to make my own. Luckily Ingrid of Couturette. Shared some free pattern...

Sewing ♥ Vintage ♥ Knitting: Sewing update!!
http://anthea-retrovintage.blogspot.com/2015/05/sewing-update.html
The slacks are almost finished. I only need to add the waistband, hem the trouser legs and add a button and buttonhole. I am sorry for the bad light; the photo is made with a crappy camera. And while working on these trousers a got an idea for a matching blouse. Immediately I knew which fabric and which pattern I should use. Isn't it great when things come together like this :). I want to make view B/C. Have you ever made bound buttonholes? And what is your favourite method? May 31, 2015 at 6:29 AM.

Sewing ♥ Vintage ♥ Knitting: Don't feel like doing anything
http://anthea-retrovintage.blogspot.com/2014/07/dont-feel-like-doing-anything.html
Don't feel like doing anything. I know it's been a while since my last update. The problem is I don't feel like crafting or blogging these days. The main reason is that I'm going to move to another place. My mind is completely focused on moving and I feel a bit restless about it. So focussing on my hobbies is pretty hard at the moment. I'm not sure about the aim of this blogpost. I guess I wanted to share with you what's going on at the moment. Have a nice weekend! July 11, 2014 at 5:18 PM. Maybe you mig...

Sewing ♥ Vintage ♥ Knitting: I'm back!
http://anthea-retrovintage.blogspot.com/2014/10/im-back.html
It's been a while since my last post. I moved to a new place and it took lots of time to get it ready. The previous renter had lived here for years and he was a heavy smoker. Everything was sooo filthy! But now it's all clean and freshly painted :) Last weekend I moved to my new home, and this week I spent time unpacking boxes. Today I had the feeling it's time to get back to blogging, sewing and knitting! I haven't been sewing or knitting for months, but it's good to be back! How have you been doing?

Sewing ♥ Vintage ♥ Knitting: Finished Lutterloh 29!
http://anthea-retrovintage.blogspot.com/2014/07/finished-lutterloh-29.html
I didn't think I would be able to finish a sewing project before moving home. But I did! This will probably the last sewing project at my old place. So, it's a good closure! I recreated this dress from the 1941 Lutterloh pattern book. What I really like about this dress is the pocket detail, the notched collar and of course the puffed sleeves :). Whil writing the blogpost I realised I forgot about the pockets at hip level. Well, I don't like accentuating my hips anyway! What else can I say? I love this d...

http://vacuumingthelawn.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. Guess what I'm working on? I *loved* your responses to my Online Sewing Class Confessional. I want to respond to your comments individually this week. But I wanted to show you what I am currently working on. Perhaps it's the most unwieldy thing I've ever sewn. Looks like a toaster cover, ha ha. Unwieldy, I tell you. Friday, November 28, 2014. Online Sewing Class Confessional. Gratuitous cranberry sauce picture- it is fun to watch the berries pop open. 1 Craftsy (altering RTW).

Monday, October 27, 2014. New Look 6071, Part 2: the modesty panel and the rest of the dress. So yes, I made two turquoise dresses in a row! First was NL 6071, which I never finished blogging about. I wrote part 1 here about the back of the dress here. Then I made that S1314 quilted dressed which I blogged about in a few posts, the last of which is here. These super-small, super-adorable square snaps are from Daytona Trimming in NYC. They're right next to the register and they don't seem to have them...
