It's McCall's 3030, and I believe it's from the 1950's :) Hope that helps!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384277110904485746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-30881599391058223822013-01-28T12:20:13.187+13:002013-01-28T12:20:13.187+13:00Thanks everyone :)

The sides are slightly shaped in at the waist but just enough so that you can pull it on with no closures.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384277110904485746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-27025601719268587712013-01-28T12:19:43.820+13:002013-01-28T12:19:43.820+13:00That is wonderful!

Regrouping after stopping and starting can take time I don't want to spend (I have to re-group because I am a slow beginner). Would you be willing to share the pattern number or is that a secret. I need to sew blouses so badly and I love this one!WordsFitlySpokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07351195620514127052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-37274717361312381812013-01-28T06:44:05.939+13:002013-01-28T06:44:05.939+13:00It's beautiful!

I'vd love to try to draft one of my own, but I can't figure out how to give shaping to the waist or hips. Is it just straight up-and-down, or are there some darts hiding somewhere?Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306054198401843077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-56975598813486733382013-01-28T04:15:48.725+13:002013-01-28T04:15:48.725+13:00Hi.

It goes perfectly with your skirt too :)<br /><br />I think I sew similarly to you. I used to be able to sit down for a whole day and just sew, but now I am a bit more easily distracted and I find that I make a LOT less mistakes if I sew in small blocks. I like having the time to think things through (like construction methods) and find it a lot easier when I'm away doing something else- the answer will often just pop right into my head!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13032414789098632093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-36125903671913723432013-01-27T20:43:07.935+13:002013-01-27T20:43:07.935+13:00Oh, cute pattern.

I've seen this one around and thought the front styling was really interesting, I may have to hunt it out and give it a go.<br /><br />As for finishing things in a day, nope, very rare. Like you life gets in the way and I just can't spend all day sewing. It might be different in the winter, but in the summer, I'd rather be outside!Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560774986079141727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-18041703758334653912013-01-27T19:31:35.887+13:002013-01-27T19:31:35.887+13:00That is sooo cute!

I love the button detail, and the fabric is gorgeous.<br /><br />I can never sew something in a day- unless it's a simple pair of kids' shorts or drawstring bag or something like that.<br /><br />I usually sew at night time for an hour each time, but not every night. On average it takes me about a week from start to finish for a project like a blouse with lots of buttons or a dress.Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366330062645600734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-56232659422088521342013-01-27T19:22:23.496+13:002013-01-27T19:22:23.496+13:00Very pretty, Jen! :)Very pretty, Jen! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03085054284790032962noreply@blogger.com
