A Sewing Machine and an Umbrella is proud to present… much better photos that should have been in that last post.
This was my first attempt at Victory rolls, and I have to say they are much more difficult than I had hoped. I am not really a ‘hair’ person. I usually spend my time putting together an outfit and then stick my hair on top of my head and swipe on some mascara. I really love this hair style though, and I hope to one day be competent at it. I spent a bunch of time looking at internet tutorials, the best of which, in my opinion is by Fleur over at Diary of a Vintage Girl. Does anyone do this on a regular basis? Any tips?
Fleece lined Pockets!
I used some brown and white fleece to make the pocket bags and do the binding on the inside. I think warm fuzzy pockets are a very important feature in a dress that is going to be worn in December in Vancouver. Not that is gets that cold here, more so depressing. I think that is the best way to describe winter in Vancouver two degrees with a chance of depressing. Fuzzy pockets help.
Stupid tag sticking out the back! That particular tag is the most persistent little bugger.
The fabric close up. The colour is truer in the other pictures, it came out a little more red here for reason that only the camera gods can understand.
So that’s Christmas dresses. Now onto spring!
wow they are both so lovely ^_^ what a great christmas!
Thanks so much!
Love the fabric! (both of them) Where did you manage to find this gorgeous retro print for a shirt dress? I want it!
Thanks! I got it at fabricland. I think its called Sherry Berry Twelve Days of Christmas. Its a couple seasons old but you could try goole-ing. Good luck!
