I also got my hands on some great vintage patterns and two vintage pattern books a few months ago that I have yet to show you, so here they are. I'm going to make those sweet little high waisted shorts for summer - inspired by no other than Casey. I've never drafted a pattern before, let alone a vintage one, so I'm a bit worried about how they will turn out. I'm sure if I just make it up like I normally do, it'll be fine.
Fingers crossed...

Oh, I want to go to a film fest!!
I bet your shorts will turn out just as lovely as all your other gorgeous creations.
Adore your outfit.
Your blog is so lovely, I recently started one too after reading great blogs out there like yours :) hope you don't mind if we exchange links?
thanks jen! :)
These patterns look awesome :) I'll definitely think of buying something from your etsy shop sometime. I also just passed on a blog award to you.
I'm sure they'll come out beautifully! I have to admit that I'm a little jealous...I've been looking for a pair of shorts like those for a while:) I guess I'll have to start looking around for patterns! I can't wait to see the final result.
love the pink/black combination!
Those patterns are incredible!!!
Love your pink skirt!
Those patterns look like so much fun.
And I adore your outfit, that pink is the perfect color.

Those patterns look like they will be beautiful, especially on you.
I love how your background of black makes your pink skirt and floral pin stand out!
That has to be one of my favorite dresses! LOVE the pink! Have fun at the festival.
Can't wait to see the shorts! :)
Have fun at the film festival!
Those are some fun patterns. I can't wait to see how they turn out!
What splendid finds, I really like the cover on the for "Women and Teenagers" one, I would happily sport any three of those lovely dresses.
And speaking of lovely things, your outfit is so charming, you look beautiful!
Big hugs!

you look wonderful!!!

I love your pink flower against the black top! Lovely. Have fun!
Look at that 50's dress with the full skirt! If you find a great overall pattern fabric it would look superb with that design.
I love your skirt. Good luck on your shorts.
Ooo those shorts are gorgeous. Teehee "teener"!
I've never made shorts or pants before. Are they hard? It's probably time for me to bite the bullet and give them a go... but I'm very scared of them!
cute skirt!
Nice! i especially love the flower brooch!

I always find these vintage patterns at estate sales. I think they're fun to look at, but I've never committed to actually using them. Have fun tonight! Great outfit.

Also, I LOVETH the pink/black combo. The little flower pin pulls it all together.

I really admire anyone who can sew as well as you! With your original skirt designs being so lovely, I can't wait to see what these patterns inspire and what you choose to make from them :~)
Also, I've gotten some strange security words too. I wonder how they come up with them?? Haha.
You look lovely. I could have some fun with those patterns!
I'm loving both this and your floral dress. Both have such a beautiful silhouette. You're so talented... amazing. Just found your blog and I'm really enjoying it so far :)
