Yikes! How is the 2015 Vintage Sewing Pattern Pledge coming to a close so soon?!? I had high hopes for overachieving this year, but I think I'll be lucky to squeeze in my fifth and final make. You lot, on the other hand, have been blowing my mind with your wonderful creations!
End of Year Competition
Before I share some of your gorgeous makes, I'd just like to remind you of our End of Year Competition for the chance to win some really great prizes. As long as you made your #vintagepledge item this year, you're eligible to enter no matter what type of make it is (we have a number of categories for you to choose from) and regardless of where you are in the world! Find out how to enter over at Kestrel Makes and check out the competition so far!
Your Makes in November
The Antipodean Stitcher used denim to make her 1940s shirtdress pattern look distinctly 1970s. I absolutely love how it works so well both as a dress and an overcoat.
Fadanista knitted her beau a jumper using a 1957 pattern. She's not 100% happy with the result, but I think Mark looks rather dashing in it!
Almond Rock is going to be toasty warm this winter in her gorgeous peacoat. She's managed to make a 1970s pattern look very contemporary indeed.
#VintagePledge's very own Kestrel Makes made this 1980s dress up in a lovely geometric viscose, giving it a cool mid-century feel. I totally copied her and bought the same fabric...I just hope I can do it the justice she has!
Betty Stitchup has captured the best of 1960s mod with this monochrome beauty. Bravo!

I love the last one, that is my favourite. Thanks for hosting this year Marie.Shhh! but I had a job lot of patterns from ebay this morning and I spent most of my day ironing the patterns and putting them nicely in the packets, I mean I had a gazillion other things to do but it made me happy. I have lots to go at now for 2016!!! Jo x
ReplyDeleteOooh, new patterns are the best!!! Enjoy yourself and I hope to see new makes from you soon :o)
DeleteThanks for the mention Marie. Mark's jumper has now been reknitted and looks much better. I shall be blogging it when we hit colder weather in a week or so - it's too hot in Perth for him to even contemplate putting it on. I love the roundup and have a few favourites in there, but the '60s do always tend to float my boat.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was quick of you Sue...Mark's a lucky guy! Looking forward to seeing him in the re-fitted jumper!
DeleteOh wow, that's my dress/coat combo! Thanks for featuring it! Everyone else's makes are fantastic, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's such an awesome make, I just had to include it :o) Thanks a million for playing along!
DeleteLove the makes, there a lot of talented ladies here. The first dress/coat is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI have just finished a skirt, so let's see if I have a moment to take pics and send.
Thanks for featuring my 60's Kitty Dress, this has been heaps of fun and great to see so many lovely vintage creations. I've just posted about my next Vintage Pattern Pledge make here: http://bettystitchup.blogspot.com.au/2015/12/feline-groovy-dress.html
