Style 2769 - My new fave pattern

I've discovered a new fave. Its a vintage pattern Style 2769. I decided to make it up after noticing it looked very similar to a 40's/50's pattern I liked the look of...and I've found it so easy to make I'm going to make a few more.

I've earmarked the fabric and even found matching buttons....but back to this weekends project.

I chose to do view 4.

I traced off the pattern as it was quite fragile and made some adjustments as it was slightly too small.

I used up the leftover white polycotton and some scraps I had left over from the shirt dress I'm making.

Inside out

It meant the facings were shorter than they should be because I didn't have quite enough material but I worked round that.

I only had choice of 2 buttons...and neither quite looked right. So I went and bought some especially.

Ta Da! Its so comfy and perfect for dancing in as it's got a retro feel but will keep me cool.
