The number of you who kindly took the time to comment on my fringe (or bangs) dilemma. It turns out, hairstyles divide opinion, like, A LOT! I honestly can't believe the truly considered and refreshingly honest advice and opinions you all chipped in, so thank you! You'll either be glad or disappointed to see that I stuck to my guns and kept the straight fringe. It's a little longer than before and I opted for a very subtle Bettie Page curve. What do you think?

The number of you taking the Vintage Sewing Pattern Pledge with me! I'm thrilled that so many of you are on board and I look forward to all the inspiration and support - I know I'm already feeling more motivated.

The number of finished makes that I can't share with you yet. Frustrating, but hopefully worth the wait!

One super cute Itty Bitty Dress made by me for our adorable new niece, who's less than two weeks old!
31
The grand old age I turned today! No handmade dress to celebrate in like last year, but thankfully not as stressful as turning 30. Plus, spending time with wonderful friends and receiving awesome gifts is always a winner!
Hope you're all having / have had a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Wendy...I hope you have some cool plans for your 31st?!
DeleteHappy birthday! The bangs look fantastic and your new niece is so sweet. Thank you for the motivation to sew some of my vintage treasures.
ReplyDeleteThank you and I'm so pleased you're on board with the Vintage Sewing Pattern Pledge!

ReplyDeleteShe's such a cutie!
DeleteHappy birthday, lady! Woooooo! Love your fringe, you look stunning. And that ickle baba! Aww... xx

ReplyDeleteThanks Sabs, the weather really did spoil me...not! Haha!
DeleteAdore the bettie bang, looks ridiculously cute. :) xx
ReplyDeleteAaaw, thanks!
DeleteHappy Birthday Marie!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful baby niece and dress :) and cute bangs!
Thanks Nakisha!
DeleteHappy, happy birthday! Here's to many many more!
ReplyDeleteVery Happy Birthday weekend. Your Vintage Pattern Pledge is a fab idea - I feel a million times more motivated, nearly narrowed down my choice :)
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to hear that!!!
DeleteBoth beautiful! Happy birthday to you and your niece! Babies suit you ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks Mela!
DeleteIt looks great, and happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteGlad you stuck to your guns, as I mentioned in my last comment it only needed to be a tad longer in my opinion.Absolutely gorgeous and suits you to a tee.
ReplyDeleteI think you were totally right, thanks!
DeleteCute dress and even cuter fringe! x
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHappy birthday! And I think your fringe looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteHurrah, you kept it short! I think I sat on the fence a bit with my comment about your fringe, but I do like it short. Shaped as it is, is even better I think - probably a bit more flattering, but still edgy. Your poor boyfriend will just have to suffer it! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
Haha, thanks Helen! I think he likes it better now that it's a little longer, even though he may not have chosen it for me still ;o)
DeleteHappy Birthday!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! The fringe looks super cute and so is the baby!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Mine is in a few weeks too eek!!
ReplyDeleteNow onto planning that vintage pattern sewing :)
Oooh, happy birthday to you in advance!!!
DeleteWhilst I may dislike short fringes, I think you have found a style that suits you very well. Happy birthday for yesterday!
ReplyDeleteAaaw, thanks Nikki!
DeleteCongratulations on your new niece, making baby girl dresses is so much fun...have a few vintage patterns they seem to fit better modern ones! X
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam, making little dresses really is fun!
DeleteI thought you were in your early twenties, wowzer! x

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHappy Birthday! Love the new bangs!
ReplyDeleteHappy (belated) birthday! The haircut looks incredible! Your new niece is a lucky little girl to have an aunt as talented as you! The dress you made her is ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteAaaw, thank you! I'm sure in years to come she'll complain about the handmade dresses aunty Marie insists on making her! Hah!
DeleteI think your fringe looks great, and I hope you had a lovely birthday! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynne, it was great!
DeleteHappy Birthday! I hope you get thoroughly spoiled :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, sweet girl! Hope you had a wonderful day! I love the hair- the little curve looks great! And your niece is so beautiful!

ReplyDeleteHehe, thank you!

ReplyDeleteThanks Heather!
DeleteLove the fringe you went with in the end. And many happy birthday returns to you!!! x
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteBelated happy birthday! I like your fringe, it looks like mine :D
ReplyDeleteClearly, you have great taste Elena ;o)
DeleteHappy Birthday!! Your hair looks fabulous :) And the itty bitty dress does, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Meg!
DeleteHappy Belated Birthday, Marie! I am also turning 31 next month. Seems like it was just yesterday I turned 30 *sigh* ;)
ReplyDeleteI think the longer fringe is very pretty!
How does time move so fast when you're older...no fair! Happy birthday to you in advance though ;o)
DeleteHappy Birthday! What an adorable baby - so sweet. I have fringe too (or as I call them, bangs). I've had bangs since I was little but grew them out last year. It took me a whole year plus but during that year I kept thinking it would get better. Well after I saw my new driver's license, it didn't so I chopped them off and went back to bangs. Whew! I felt better :) I'm glad so many people are doing the vintage pattern challenge. I can't wait to get started!
ReplyDeleteBangs forever, I say! ;o) I too am over the moon with the response to my Vintage Sewing Pattern Pledge!
DeleteHappy birthday. Lucky niece, her dress is too cute for words. That's a lovely picture of you both.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you, Marie! (And well, to your little niece too, lol!) What an adorable dress you made her. And I love the fringe!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Tasha, you're so kind!
DeleteHappy birthday Marie! Great hair - loving the fringe :D
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely!
DeleteHappy Belated Birthday Marie! (that's my mom's name and I have to say you are the only other person in my whole life you has that name! It's so odd since I associate it so much with my mom, :) )
ReplyDeleteHaha, what a great comment! It's weird that you associate me with your mum, but I'm sure neither of us minds ;o)
