The 1912 Project

So college totally cuts into my sewing time but it's almost summer and I couldn't let a great opportunity like this get away. The Vintage Pattern Lending Library is hosting the 1912 project where they are recreating patterns from 1912 issues of La Mode Illustree, which was a weekly pattern magazine that included a few patterns in each issue. I just requested my first pattern, a slip with lace insertion and a very wide pleated hem. I'm not sure a) when I will get the pattern or b) when I will get the chance to sew it up but I'm super excited. I have 3 weeks of class and 1 week of finals standing in my way but hopefully I can start sewing when I'm home. Maybe once this is done and I find a summer job to get money I can make up a corset and then start on some skirts and blouses.

Introductions

Hello All

My name is Chastity and I'm a college student who loves to sew, read, color, watch movies, listen to music, and cuddle with M. (For all you Sherlock Holmes fans no my boyfriend's name is not Moriarty) College is cutting into my sewing time but I figure I could do something to relieve my creative stress with a blog. I spend hours looking for the right patterns and the right fabric and I recently went on a pattern buying spree so I hope to have some posts about those soon. Etsy is an amazing to find patterns and I've found other sites and blogs that I hope to share with you. Well here goes nothing....
