I think there’s no better way to do something than to jump right in and do it so here I am! In the few years I’ve been away from blogging I’ve been raising chickens and kids and we homeschooled during covid which put this blog on the back burner. We had a lot of fun but the kids are happily back in school with their friends again and I’m ready to get back to doing the things I love to</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p>I never thought I’d homeschool but with the options given during the pandemic, it seemed like the best for the kids. We converted my dining room into a classroom and also took our school work to the forest by the Missouri River every chance we got. We did read-alouds and science projects in the back yard and my husband taught math when he got home from work. I never went to college so I didn’t know how I’d do as a teacher but after they went back to school, they both came home with excellent grades, which made me very proud of them but also proud of myself for teaching them. It was a lot of fun but everyone is glad to be back, myself included.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1QdUyXG38z2UC7MEuNdNN6Q1i0QCOLi6sOb6C18ldWNZNbhAGIMf4NNMQwvwNclbU5cyGvCX75MNCNQWkMDckqcv57xb4EJDjo7zy8wUAPP_UBNodH0sKMiaYxCdbuX-bGyhCIVX5p09-vfmkqzLAJEKCPh3dohjCQ4CNM8ZRO_IhRL_5OR5O3GWE_O95/s2944/20200918_113211.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2944" data-original-width="2208" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1QdUyXG38z2UC7MEuNdNN6Q1i0QCOLi6sOb6C18ldWNZNbhAGIMf4NNMQwvwNclbU5cyGvCX75MNCNQWkMDckqcv57xb4EJDjo7zy8wUAPP_UBNodH0sKMiaYxCdbuX-bGyhCIVX5p09-vfmkqzLAJEKCPh3dohjCQ4CNM8ZRO_IhRL_5OR5O3GWE_O95/w480-h640/20200918_113211.jpg" width="480" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9AIEVrZha0nVdVjSAhu7OticQvVdV3cBONxcWAnA_9L_cA3BeL8wrWjQrinAgvDxsbLYlMA9JqR9P9OWhmRDgfa15Ih8B_ywgnIbnFN7_VWMNpyX1Ckho9GI5m0X42bW3TDb4zgrKwj2iaTpJ5hnEoorh9HbK6unuuC6v61W78a0qN1T5-CN1ORf5bPfY/s4032/20200814_135619.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9AIEVrZha0nVdVjSAhu7OticQvVdV3cBONxcWAnA_9L_cA3BeL8wrWjQrinAgvDxsbLYlMA9JqR9P9OWhmRDgfa15Ih8B_ywgnIbnFN7_VWMNpyX1Ckho9GI5m0X42bW3TDb4zgrKwj2iaTpJ5hnEoorh9HbK6unuuC6v61W78a0qN1T5-CN1ORf5bPfY/w480-h640/20200814_135619.jpg" width="480" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>In 2022 we took our time adjusting to the world of early morning bus stops, packing lunches, homework and life.

Being stuck at home and doing messy projects, I stuck to comfy, wash and wear things a lot. Over the past few months I’ve been rooting through tubs of dresses and sewing patterns and making new Pinterest boards with pretty clothes that I want to wear. </p><p>I also started designing fabrics and opened my Spoonflower shop. I’ve spent most of my free time doing that and cross stitching, which are both things I always wanted to learn to do. This blog was such a big part of my life for so many years, it was strange to do things without documenting them. There’s been a lot of things I made that I never took pictures of. Through our homeschool days I realized that I absolutely love teaching and sharing things that interest me with someone else. Over the past few years I found myself thinking “wouldn’t this be fun to share on the blog?” </p><p>Blogging has changed so much since I’ve been away. Even the Blogger interface looks different so it’ll be fun learning to do blog stuff and use social media all over again.</p><p><b>Missing Photos and New Videos on Youtube</b></p><p>Oh you may also notice that tons of my old posts are missing photos! Major bummer. I was messing around in my web albums one night in 2019 when I got distracted and accidentally deleted entire albums of photos with a single click. Years of work gone! I’ve been able to find some of them on old memory cards or Pinterest pins but a lot of them are gone for good. I got in a funk about it for a while til one day I had an email from a reader. She asked of I had photos of one of my old hat tutorials because she learns much better with visual help. I realized that I’ll just have to go back and redo some of those old photos but this time, I can make YouTube videos to go with them!</p><p>Anyway, hello again, old friend. Welcome back to my blog. I’d love to hear what you’ve been up to and any new, fun, kinda scary, weird things you’ve tried or places you visited in the past few years! </p>Brittany_Va-VoomVintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-78453703790075024082021-03-10T19:16:00.010-05:002021-04-14T09:19:07.701-04:00Outfit: My Tilly and the Buttons Coco Tunic<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

For about a year now, I've been trying to build a more wash and wear wardrobe. I love my delicate vintage dresses but I find myself wanting easy things I can slip on and get some housework done. I spent last summer sewing several things that are retro style but comfy and one of my favorite makes so far is this tunic from the Coco pattern by Tilly and the Buttons</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnU8cO9iZ_aFuJA_G6XD5-MkMy_8FJmMGRFpFLtyYfHQ0Wet8Vts4QAPN4_h8BCR57s1GD3S2Fq7DghdGs6pJYDyMvUnMgJNcG34akObhxwcM_XqWo41pVpUSij5v4SlNmNjkzxE-ztMA9/s2048/IMG_4487.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnU8cO9iZ_aFuJA_G6XD5-MkMy_8FJmMGRFpFLtyYfHQ0Wet8Vts4QAPN4_h8BCR57s1GD3S2Fq7DghdGs6pJYDyMvUnMgJNcG34akObhxwcM_XqWo41pVpUSij5v4SlNmNjkzxE-ztMA9/w426-h640/IMG_4487.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxyvjeNF6QWAVoHwjm0zonLz5Kn6pXO0IZiU8-DLfzoeD5LtjEhRxrH1NZd6AonptXjAPIhAqO6LVq4FAsRY9tjXA9GrPP26Yop4Z6cNd4axgs0DHqfKyc_AJtZmZD1VKnLHRCvSzbiXue/s2048/IMG_4490.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Tilly and the Buttons coco tunic" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxyvjeNF6QWAVoHwjm0zonLz5Kn6pXO0IZiU8-DLfzoeD5LtjEhRxrH1NZd6AonptXjAPIhAqO6LVq4FAsRY9tjXA9GrPP26Yop4Z6cNd4axgs0DHqfKyc_AJtZmZD1VKnLHRCvSzbiXue/w426-h640/IMG_4490.jpg" title="Tilly and the Buttons coco tunic" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">. This pattern was a great buy for someone on a budget like me because it has the option for a dress/tunic or a blouse, funnel collar or no collar, pockets or none. I love patterns that you can mix and match to get different looks from the same pieces. This turned out so cute, I'm planning to make several more. I think it would be adorable with tights and 60s style boots but in February in St. Louis, pants work just fine! After sewing this and thrifting several other black and white stripe tops, I've but a stripe ban on my closet for a while but I also sewed this one as a top in polka dots and it turned out pretty cute! </div>

My brooch is also a me-made thing. I found this funny will return sign at Hobby Lobby in the jewelry department. The hands move so I can change the time. It cracked me up and I thought it would be the perfect brooch. </div>

It's a new year and great time to try new things. Last week I cleaned out my vanity drawers and took stock of my makeup. I realized I had a lot of red lipsticks but I really wanted to try something different. I popped into Ulta and picked up a few non-red shades to sample. I like to wear peachy and pink colors with my 60s looks. I usually wear NYX Stockholm, which will forever be a favorite.<br />
<br />
Here are 5 alternatives to red lipstick to try. Since they're all $6 and under, you can sample a few hues from these brands and see what you like.<br />

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2H9cZeD" target="_blank">Wet n' Wild Megalast in "Don't Blink Pink" </a></b><br />
Wet n' Wild Megalast Matte lipsticks (in addition to NYX matte) are my tried and true go-to lipsticks. They have some gorgeous reds in the same colors as high priced brands with great staying power. Some people don't care for the dryness than comes with matte lipsticks but I slick on a little lip balm and it does the trick. I don't typically go for pink lips but I thought it would be fun to try something totally different so I went with Don't Blink Pink. This is a bold pink with high pigment and solid smooth application. I still don't know if I like this color on me but I think it would be amazing on darker or olive skin tones.<br />

<br />
<a href="https://amzn.to/2H9cZeD" target="_blank">Wet n' Wild Silk Finish in "Sunset Peach" </a><br />
If you don't like the dry matte formula, try the silk finish formula for a creamier texture, wash of color and a light shimmer. This is a great sheer peachy coral for daily wear.<br />

As a teen, I wore so much lip gloss, you could see yourself in the reflection of my lips. These days, I tend to stick to matte lips but I thought I'd give this a try. I absolutely love this beautiful lightweight color! It adds a little natural looking blush to a colorless lip and its light, creamy and sheer, not sticky like a traditional gloss.<br />

I can go on and on for days about NYX cosmetics. I've never tried anything from them that I don't love. With the quality of MAC and the price of ELF, you gotta love NYX. Indie Flick is my favorite lipstick of all time. This bright orange/coral appears exactly as it is in the tube with a deep, heavy pigment and light feeling formula. These lipsticks have great staying power and aren't as drying as Wet N' Wild. With a great price, you can try the whole range of colors. <br />

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2w1gIIY" target="_blank">NYC Expert Last in "Coralista" </a></b><br />
NYC is the brand I always turn to when I've misplaced something or I'm out of town and forgot to pack my liquid liner. Although NYC is a really cheap drugstore brand, these lipsticks are highly pigmented with a nice creamy texture. They have pretty good staying power as well. <br />

Winter is my favorite time of year to bake! The oven heats this tiny house up so much in the warmer months so I like to pull out my Pyrex and bake as much as possible while it is still cold out. Every month I stock the freezer with homemade waffles, breakfast sandwiches and burritos for Pj's work week and snacks for the kids like mini pizzas, zucchini muffins, and banana bread.<br />
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0TrKXCU-odfHsxsu5UFIE4u1phtAI3w6qws_O5eGFcM8IiBWVPJzNay9W2N5CVHXDCJbjPFips998xWS3YgH78AaTOSj92Mh_Od2Tl0tLY-kKt1uxptEBljzwBGUrtqWIk0-JZAxVhDNb/s1125/IMG_4432.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="750" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0TrKXCU-odfHsxsu5UFIE4u1phtAI3w6qws_O5eGFcM8IiBWVPJzNay9W2N5CVHXDCJbjPFips998xWS3YgH78AaTOSj92Mh_Od2Tl0tLY-kKt1uxptEBljzwBGUrtqWIk0-JZAxVhDNb/s16000/IMG_4432.jpg" /></a><br /><br />
<br />
I really do wear aprons while I bake. I'm very messy and I often wipe my hands on my lap so the apron catches all of that flour and wet hands. I found this cute blue gingham apron at an antique shop in my neighborhood. They always have such cute vintage linens. Although I don't display my vintage tablecloths very often, my aprons are all lined up on a rack in the kitchen. I usually wear a durable (not so cute) canvas apron for daily housework but this one matched my outfit too perfectly to not take it for a spin today.<br />
<br />

These vintage metal canisters are one of my favorite things in my kitchen. They belonged to my Great Grandma Alma and she had them on her countertop for years. I remember her dipping her hand in the flour to make her famous buckwheat pancakes or rum cake for Christmas. Now they sit on my counter with her little grey metal box full of her handwritten recipe cards.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />
After baking, I had some leftovers for lunch while I got caught up on The Crown. Last night I made <a href="https://www.jocooks.com/recipes/stuffed-peppers-ardei-umpluti/" target="_blank">Romanian Stuffed Peppers</a> and <a href="https://www.jocooks.com/recipes/savory-cheese-pie-placinta-cu-branza/" target="_blank">Savory Cheese Pie</a>, both recipes from Jo Cooks. Her blog is one of my favorites for recipes! These stuffed peppers are so good. They've been on my regular rotation for quite a while! I even found the right kind of peppers at a local-global foods grocery store but I've also used regular bell peppers and they're fantastic. Perfect for a cold winter night.<br />

<br />
For some, its the excitement of those beautiful dress that you could make at home. For others, it's the chain e-mail of Facebook. Your friends send it, its in every sewing group. I won't link to it because it doesn't need to be shared anywhere else, you've already seen it 20 times this month. It's the article about wiki releasing all of those vintage sewing patterns ripe for downloading!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Let's talk about what <a href="https://vintagepatterns.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page" target="_blank">the Vintage Sewing Patterns Wikia </a>is and isn't. Even though you can't download 83,500 patterns from it (bummer, right?!), how you can use it and even get patterns from it...because it really is a cool thing!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://vintagepatterns.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page" target="_blank">The Vintage Sewing Patterns Wikia </a>is a collaborative effort from sewing pattern collectors over the globe to categorize and document patterns that are 25 years and older. They upload images of the covers and descriptions. Each entry has spots for blog posts reviewing the patterns so you can see what they look like when sewn and if the person who made it has any tips for you as you navigate sewing the garment. Some entries also have links to purchase the original paper patterns from various sellers online. The people who have contributed their time, knowledge and effort to this project are amazing!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">What the Vintage Sewing Patterns Wikia isnt:</span><br />
<br />
It is not a source to download a massive collection of vintage sewing patterns.<br />
Someone wrote an article with a very misleading headline and it has spread like wildfire all over social media. Many patterns are still under copyright (I'm looking at you, Vogue) and scanning/remastering these delicate paper patterns for the general public would be an unbelievably big undertaking. Sorry, you can't download the patterns. There's just photos of the pattern covers.<br />
<br />
There are loads of downloadable and even free vintage sewing patterns online, just check out <a href="http://www.vavoomvintage.net/p/free-patterns.html" target="_blank">my free patterns page</a> but you won't find them on Wikia.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">What the Vintage Sewing Patterns Wikia is:</span><br />
<br />
<b>An amazing resource to date your sewing patterns.</b> Search by the pattern maker and number and you can easily find the date of your sewing pattern. If you need something for a very specific event such as reenacting, this is a wonderful tool to make sure your dress is accurate to a specific time period.<br />
<br />
<b>A massive database of style inspiration. </b>I love to look at vintage magazines and patterns to help me put together outfits. Use the database to find outfit ideas for vintage events, your vacation ensembles or just daily wear. Sewing a swimsuit this summer? Just type the decade and swimsuit into the search bar!<br />
<br />
<b>Build your pattern collection. </b>If your're looking for rare sewing patterns or something out of print, you can often find a link to buy the paper pattern through the wikia. You can even add patterns to your wishlist so users can contact you if they have a copy that they're ready to sell. These are original vintage paper copies of the patterns although you may occasionally find a vendor who has some downloads but most of them are not.<br />
<br />
If you're looking primarily for PDF download patterns, check out <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Mrsdepew" target="_blank">Mrs. Depew Vintage</a>, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/wearinghistory/" target="_blank">Wearing History</a>, <a href="https://charmpatterns.bygertie.com/product-category/patterns/" target="_blank">Charm Patterns by Gertie</a><br />
<br />
<b>Connect with others.</b> Check out the comments and forums to connect with other vintage sewing enthusiasts and get help with navigating the site or searching for a particular pattern and size. You can also find new sewing blogs to follow through the blog post reviews of each pattern.<br />
<br />
<br />
So while that original headline wasn't true, the Vintage Sewing Patterns Wikia is a fantastic tool. Many people have been working for years to build the database. Please do share the site with long term and newbie sewists. And if you see that silly article circulating again, that's a great opportunity to showcase how awesome our sewing community is and how willing they are to share their knowledge and time with us.<br />

Most of my free patterns are knitted but here's a spectacular one for crochet from 1952. This pattern includes sequin covered lounge slippers, evening handkerchief, earrings, necklace, hair combs, comb case and and compact case. The slippers are knitted with lastex yarn. If you've never crocheted with sequins before, the pattern includes instructions for that as well.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAbQHqctKJCZCk0l_JLJJR4JeigWABRIC-Tar0TlZCSvWXUqJ8H56py8aGwmbO5inFY5CoXS2qTuASJr3edvJcGoz9e2AfRl7TmtS3Kp5Qra2KlQ7OrmY8GZ4tiNaamSnOWdJF6g33L9Kk/s840/IMG_2795.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="840" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAbQHqctKJCZCk0l_JLJJR4JeigWABRIC-Tar0TlZCSvWXUqJ8H56py8aGwmbO5inFY5CoXS2qTuASJr3edvJcGoz9e2AfRl7TmtS3Kp5Qra2KlQ7OrmY8GZ4tiNaamSnOWdJF6g33L9Kk/s16000/IMG_2795.JPG" /></a><br />

You can find similar modern yarns made with nylon and polyamide for socks from sites like<a href="https://www.loveknitting.com/us/elastic-stretchy-knitting-yarn" target="_blank"> loveknitting.com</a>. You can still find slipper soles for crochet also or if you're handy with a leather punch, you can make your own with real or faux leather.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqAXbTRMyaszOymiEI456g3ZVlnU3BpFYrzY_uOzGh6Ww4pfbxmXu0nfHdvOvA1DiBJPCPNTEZ8tM7qIQ9mAZUCSLEXC3RzTxM8SKqj8L2LKhYx8lf9AVCjoa5XOv8qDn11xbmBbfIOn0F/s929/IMG_2800.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="929" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqAXbTRMyaszOymiEI456g3ZVlnU3BpFYrzY_uOzGh6Ww4pfbxmXu0nfHdvOvA1DiBJPCPNTEZ8tM7qIQ9mAZUCSLEXC3RzTxM8SKqj8L2LKhYx8lf9AVCjoa5XOv8qDn11xbmBbfIOn0F/s16000/IMG_2800.JPG" /></a><br />

This morning, my new friend Erin picked me up and we went to V<a href="https://www.vintagemarketdays.com/market/st.-louis/" target="_blank">intage Market Days of St Louis</a> at Chesterfield Mall. I've never been to Vintage Market Days even though it's been popping up in St Louis for years so I was really excited to be able to go this year.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG_SM0nTLuv5TVOrbVyP1ibIhLvck9ZKOOfBtn7A-_o6TAbIvar-ZWSI9l0A_0-WD8FwZO0veHBTPYQya4658SL2l37AvxMxupQUce7ma60GVLHQ5af15zDoSSidGMTQ9PwR9SmeJ1Z9Jj/s867/20191025_113424.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="867" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG_SM0nTLuv5TVOrbVyP1ibIhLvck9ZKOOfBtn7A-_o6TAbIvar-ZWSI9l0A_0-WD8FwZO0veHBTPYQya4658SL2l37AvxMxupQUce7ma60GVLHQ5af15zDoSSidGMTQ9PwR9SmeJ1Z9Jj/s16000/20191025_113424.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Vintage Market days is happening all weekend, til 6pm on Friday, 10am to 6pm on Saturday and 10am to 3pm on Sunday. Admission for Saturday and Sunday is $5. Most of the market is indoors so even if your autumn plans get rained out this weekend, there's still fun to be had in Chesterfield!<br />
<br />

Before the doors opened they had several vendors set up outside along with live music and food/ trucks. There was a huge turn out of people this year so the various lines for the door and trucks snaked all throughout the outdoor market area. We only waited a few minutes before the doors opened and the line moved very quickly. Once inside, Erin and I realized how many people were shopping at the booths around the entrance so we headed straight for the back of the market, which was much less crowded and there was a lot of space to look around at everything. I love these beautiful textured glasses. They look like jewels, don't they?<br />

The vendors at Vintage Market Days were a good mix of handmades and vintage. There was a beautiful plant booth, which caught our eye right away because we're both plant ladies. The far back booth had clothes, jewelry and vintage oddities like antique doll parts and small vintage medical items. I love these strange pieces of the past.<br />

Since Christmas is just around the corner, there was a good sprinkling of vintage shiny brite ornaments and Christmas tree including a very well priced aluminum tree that I wanted but I already have one and I don't know how I would fit a 3rd tree in my tiny house! I'm surprised at my self control in not buying any of the adorable 1950s elf figures and ceramic trees for sale.<br />

We didn't find much in the way of vintage clothes but one of my finds was this beautiful dance compact purse. It has damaged fabric and a broken mirror but you know me, I love a fixer upper project so I can't wait to take this compact apart and replace the broken pieces so I can use it! It has a place for powder, blush, a tiny lipstick touch-up, change slots, a spot for cash and even a business card/calling card holder behind the mirror. A lady would have been able to carry everything she needed for a night out in this little compact. I saw a post about these on Facebook a few weeks ago so I was really excited to find one in person. The vendor was equally excited that I opened it and knew exactly what it was!<br />

This one is for a fabulous 1957 harlequin sweater. I hope to make this one for myself but I really can't settle on a color combination!<br /><br /> This sweater was on the cover of McCalls Needlework for fall-winter 1957-58. It really is a show stopper. This pattern involves knitting with a color chart and doing a little embroidery for the hearts.<br /><br />I've never used a chart before but this looks like a good pattern to start with since the design is very simple and only uses one color. This pattern fits a blocked size of 34-38 inch bust but if you need help resizing this pattern, check the vintage knitting resources at the bottom of this post.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy this month's pattern.

This beautiful 1950s dress is in German and English in bust size 40 and waist size 32. You can resize with a little drafting know-how. The pattern pieces are overlapped so the pieces will need to be traced, much like modern sewing books with pattern sheets.<br />

<a href="http://www.sewhistorically.com/1940-1950s-bra-garter-belt-free-patterns/" target="_blank">1940s and 50s Bras and Garter Belt from Sew Historically</a><br />
Sew Historically provides two vintage bras here, a peachy satin 40s/50s bra with semi-circular stitching and a white cotton 40s/50s bra in addition to a beautiful vintage garter. The pattern is easy to follow, without sewing instructions but, like my own bullet bra pattern, will require you to make a muslin and re-size accordingly. Enjoy the gorgeous photos of the original lingerie elements up close in the link posted. I'm excited to make these for myself!<br />

The cute outdoor fashions at the bottom have me wanting to try shorts again soon.<br /><br />If you enjoyed this post, check out my other <a href="http://www.vavoomvintage.net/search/label/old%20magazine%20scans" target="_blank">vintage magazine scans</a> for more beauty and fashion magazines.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE2eI81jpreLD7VHAn8e5vS8Vn9MSAxJLdVQ7GkybqI-7WuV5ucE6NbX1AOyNlD-ZP8Gs2C5BWXmLeeWA7WsMZzFlyvhE0STGtIY7ThQXYXrYM3pNXyMRvXmnlVoA4Z7i_XDh8TpxzkNg7/s975/IMG_2884.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="975" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE2eI81jpreLD7VHAn8e5vS8Vn9MSAxJLdVQ7GkybqI-7WuV5ucE6NbX1AOyNlD-ZP8Gs2C5BWXmLeeWA7WsMZzFlyvhE0STGtIY7ThQXYXrYM3pNXyMRvXmnlVoA4Z7i_XDh8TpxzkNg7/s16000/IMG_2884.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYVmh9ReNNnGHqPzg3N8rkdLjUBtDa6Uv0fB2tUHzwHRVfm-14T-qXzsiTdulWNHItPyZHjKxcWpAzp7wN72njTfrD02DJHacEuANjeG7vAWwmL08c8HpyFoew64gzDaaiC0uBuTKI7yOM/s851/IMG_2885.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="851" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYVmh9ReNNnGHqPzg3N8rkdLjUBtDa6Uv0fB2tUHzwHRVfm-14T-qXzsiTdulWNHItPyZHjKxcWpAzp7wN72njTfrD02DJHacEuANjeG7vAWwmL08c8HpyFoew64gzDaaiC0uBuTKI7yOM/s16000/IMG_2885.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh36FQL9DXY34EE4gEX0wSk-eluSCh0nRIEaLkzMUwtDgKg57qY5V-5YUNZIoMleOWghHh7wBi3r_mzasYSf70C7j2B9Gw862M3wTj9N008yU4aukRTIO-8pXpm8membS8ox2ygV11_3bXD/s975/IMG_2886.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="975" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh36FQL9DXY34EE4gEX0wSk-eluSCh0nRIEaLkzMUwtDgKg57qY5V-5YUNZIoMleOWghHh7wBi3r_mzasYSf70C7j2B9Gw862M3wTj9N008yU4aukRTIO-8pXpm8membS8ox2ygV11_3bXD/s16000/IMG_2886.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQqBx6-k_C6I_L5HWj-bvq2uvtpMYSwqj8JYdSqShCRBwoDUT7CrNQ91qkZdI5z6x-RR_RtMTUKgCRFyuezSrZlhRW7Moh-hih1RlWRYSBycPKdHTb4dk1MNuYLqazZXJiC7MKQ6EAMcQC/s840/IMG_2887.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="840" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQqBx6-k_C6I_L5HWj-bvq2uvtpMYSwqj8JYdSqShCRBwoDUT7CrNQ91qkZdI5z6x-RR_RtMTUKgCRFyuezSrZlhRW7Moh-hih1RlWRYSBycPKdHTb4dk1MNuYLqazZXJiC7MKQ6EAMcQC/s16000/IMG_2887.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimgup2vtLucDcU1abRnhjDJuT8C6-8kKc7951qsEUPKfiUavoz8tyArwKLiIho-5HTv5XClwBMUjfLkdKVGs8yem-f7tFlo5ttXAw9Xvn40w2AyXLRgkCmuFsZ2ZZq4OCxHVd4it_Zh-3t/s650/IMG_2888.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="433" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimgup2vtLucDcU1abRnhjDJuT8C6-8kKc7951qsEUPKfiUavoz8tyArwKLiIho-5HTv5XClwBMUjfLkdKVGs8yem-f7tFlo5ttXAw9Xvn40w2AyXLRgkCmuFsZ2ZZq4OCxHVd4it_Zh-3t/s16000/IMG_2888.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

The elegant shape of the pencil dress is elevated with a detachable capelet and fabulous triangle pockets at the hips. The waist cinches with a matching belt. If anything, I may have to make a capelet (or two...or three..) to pair with dresses and skirts that I already have.<br /><br />This dress comes in size 32-38 inch bust but if you need help resizing this pattern, check the bottom of this post for vintage knitting resources.<br /><br />If you enjoyed this post and would like more free vintage knitting and crochet patterns, check my free patterns page and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vavoomvintage/" target="_blank">follow along on Instagram</a> for my latest free patterns.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Its time for this month's free vintage knitting pattern. This one is from 1952 for an adorable basic bolero. This bolero fits bust sizes 32-38 inches but if you need help resizing please check out the resources listed at the bottom of this post. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is knitted in a chunkier yarn so it would be pretty quick to whip up. Since basic boleros were also popular in the 1940s, this is a great versatile addition to a vintage wardrobe. I love hand knits that can be worn all year too. Its such a disappointment to spend so much time knitting only to have to wait til the weather is right to wear it! Not so with this classic knit. Pair it with dresses, skirts or even pants for a cute 60s look. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you've ever wanted to learn to knit and don't know how, this is a good simple pattern to get started with. I always find wonderful tips and tutorials for beginners on Youtube so if you're not sure what a stitch means, check out Youtube! </div>

This coat is in a body bust size of 32-36 inches but if you need help resizing this pattern or finding the appropriate yarn, check the vintage knitting resources at the bottom of this post.<br />
