Guys! Your appetite for joining in with the Vintage Sewing Pattern Pledge (#vintagepledge on Twitter) has quite literally blown me away!

Not only that, but some of you have been ridiculously quick off the mark, so I'm excited to share a round-up of finished makes below.
But first, a cheeky giveaway to get even more of you on board....mwahahahahaha! Plus, I've not had a chance to fully participate in Debi's wonderful Sew Grateful Week this year, so I'm hoping this will make amends...even if I am posting it on the wrong day!

I am IN LOVE with the reproduction butterick 4919! Everybody's makes are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank You!!! Maybe your Simplicity 2382 is what I've been waiting for to banish my 1940's blouse hoodoo!! Such a pity the McCalls 6875 isn't my size - such a cute bodice ;) I've just sewn up my 1970's option - next is the 60's (I'm working backwards!) http://dreamingdashie.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/replacing-rtw-simplicity-6672-black-maxi.html
ReplyDeleteThe Butterick 4919 halter dress is gorgeous - I would love to make a dress like this.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that are some stunning creations you're showcasing there! I'd love to try that 70's pattern, even though it seems a bit on the smaller side. Would be a good opportunity to try some pattern grading :)
ReplyDeleteoh i love the mccalls! i am just formulating my plans for the vintage pledge but sure I could squeeze that one in!
ReplyDeleteI would love the McCall's 6875! So gorgeous. :) Thank you for hosting the giveaway and inspiring me to get over my irrational fear of vintage patterns!
ReplyDeleteooooh the butterick 4919 looks awesome!...*AND* its just my size :-D
ReplyDeleteI would most love to win McCall's 6875. So pretty and just my style! Thanks for a great blog and a lovely giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the Simplicity blouse :) Thanks so much for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to make up the McCalls 1960s. It looks pretty versatile and I think I can do an FBA to fit. I'm currently working on muslins for the repro Simplicity 2154 pencil skirt and blouse combo. Email: senjivastudio (at)gmail (dot) com.
ReplyDeleteHi Marie ! I'd love the Mc Call's too. Thank you.
ReplyDeletecafekam@gmail.com
I'd love the mccalls 6875
ReplyDeleteI like the 1940s blouse! I haven't sewn a vintage pattern yet, so this would be a good start:)
ReplyDeleteThose patterns all look so lovely! But the easiest way to keep my promise would be if I win that gorgeous seventies dress! :D You can contact me at elinemeeus[at]hotmail[dot]com.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to back out of the giveaway, but I want to say that this is a great pledge! I wish I had more time to join!
ReplyDeleteI love the Style 4530! I just adore the Puff Sleeves!! =)
ReplyDeleteI promise to make thhe simplicity 6875
ReplyDeleteI really like the McCalls pattern -and it's my size too. And, what is really funny, I found the same Style Pattern last spring (http://finishedthread.blogspot.ca/2013/05/the-70s-are-growing-on-me.html) and last summer I made a dress from the pattern in the lower right of the same frame as the Style pattern (http://finishedthread.blogspot.ca/2013/09/two-muslins-one-wearable-one-needswork.html) but it needs a bit of work.
ReplyDeleteBut I digress-sorry. Thank you for hosting such a cool giveaway. squirrelsox (at) gmail (dot) com
I am going to stick to my self-promise for the year (to create wearable cake (not frosting)) and choose: 1960s - McCall's 6875 - Size 18. I need more workwear, as I spend most of my time there, and feel that dresses are much more flattering on my pear shaped body. Feeling good = looking good, and so far I have been getting many positive comments for my me-made dresses :)

Now, that's a great idea! I'd love to make a dress from Style pattern 4530.

Oh, I love the Simplicity 2382 blouses! 40s style is just so suited to me, I think.

ReplyDeleteI adore the Reproduction Butterick 4919! I promise to make it if I win!
I love the McCalls 6875, buttons, cute sleeves, and two perfect skirt options. Plus, it would give me a chance to try some grading in the bust, down to a 36. Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the round-up, it's great to see what people are putting together for the pattern pledge! And thanks for the lovely giveaway - such gorgeous patterns. I'm a bit afraid of making blouses, but I promise to make that 1940s one, if I should be so lucky to win, it's gorgeous! My email is ladystitchersue@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI'm loving Simplicity 2382, and I have just the fabric for it :)
ReplyDeletesstoney@mac.com
The Mccall 6875 is cute, though I would have to grade it up just a bit.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Simplicity 2382! I think I might use this white and pink flocked cotton for it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I believe I need to photograph my Dapper Day dress better so I can have a submission for #vintagepledge!

ReplyDeleteI just love McCall's 6875 :-)
ReplyDeleteNow I hope I'm lucky enough :-)

I love the Reproduction Butterick 4919; simply gorgeous! It reminds me of Marilyn Monroe's dress ☺
ReplyDeleteOooh I adore that "Style" pattern! I've long wanted to try those. I have never had one of that brand before. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to sign up! I've got so many vintage patterns.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway!! If I won I would like the Butterick Retro, as I am trying to sew all of them.
Loving vintagepledge & can't wait to see all the things that get made as a result of it. I'm going for Simplicity 2382 - I do love a cute blouse.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for a dress to wear this summer and I think the Style 4530 would be perfect!!! And it would be my first vintage pattern...
ReplyDeletetiziana(dot)sangalli(at)gmail(dot)com
I've been looking for a pattern just like the Simplicity blouse, ever since I snapped up a remnant of yellow spot seersucker. I'd love to make it up into this. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletePlease enter me for the 1960s McCall's dress! Not that I need any more vintage patterns, but I'm always on the look out for a good shirtwaister pattern, and I love the details on this! (I've also nearly finished my first vintage pattern too). dibulous at gmail point com
ReplyDeleteI'd LOVE to win the Style 4530 from the 70s! It reminds me of a dress worn by my super-cool babysitter (read: neighbour's daughter) when I was a girl circa 1973/4, which was in a native-american style print with embroidery around the neckline. I'd do something similar, maybe add some beadwork. Retro heaven! sarah@roqs.co.uk
ReplyDeleteGreat patterns! I would love to win Style 4530. It is my 'style' and also very close to my size, so I think I could do great things with it. I like version 1 with the contrasting placket and version 3 with the big puffy sleeves. Fabulous! I also promise to sew them up for Vintage Pattern Sewalong. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm also having a giveaway on my blog, feel free to enter if there is something that interests you: http://gjeometry.com/2014/02/24/sew-grateful-giveaway-how-about-some-red-and-some-threads
PS, email address is on the blog but it is gjeometryatgmaildotcom
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the Butterwick B 4919 juat because it goes down to a size six. I rarely find anything that is fitted and for very small chests! Lots of inspirational projects so far.
ReplyDeleteThat blouse is so cute. Love to win this.
ReplyDeleteI love Simplicity 2382! I think version 3 (on the girl at the bottom) is very Betty from Bomb Girls! :)
ReplyDeleteI loved McCalls 6875 because it has vintage + modern look, who wouldn't like to get a modern look with a dash of vintage look. And also it has collar pattern, with the help of it I can make designer collar and add embellishments, Lace etc! Thank you for the giveaway. Keep blogging :)

I would make Reproduction Butterick 4919 SO HARD! It's just the kind of dress I'm always drawn to in the summer--and I live in Louisiana, where the summer lasts a ridiculously long time.

I would love the McCalls pattern! It's lovely! Thank you for the giveaway
ReplyDelete1940's blouses call out to me and that one has gorgeous sleeves! Simplicity 2382 ... I would make a blouse with those divine sheer sleeves!
ReplyDeleteForgot my email address in my previous comment.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this giveaway. I would like to make more blouses so I'm going for Simplicity 2382.
