Skirts 4 and 5, are so pretty. I love this era of fashion. You are talking about something I have never heard of before and you have my full interest. Keep inspiring.
Oo, I look forward to the muslin. I made one of the late 20s-early30s One-Hour Dresses from the Pickens booklets, and it is *so* unlike what's fashionable now that I can't decide if I did it right or even if I like it. Loose and long to the upper hip, snug at the upper hip, a straight skirt from there with pleats for walking ease. Very good housedress though -- the loose bodice allows lots of movement and the fitted hip keeps it from flapping around like a muumuu.
I agree! This is such a different aesthetic that trying to figure out exactly what it is that I am going for in this time period is wildly hard. I had to pick up a bunch of 1920s magazines to look at the pictures to get an idea of what I was aiming for.
I love watching your videos, and find them very informative. Have you ever watched any of the videos by Evelyn Wood? She uses vintage sewing techniques to create clothing from the 1920s to the 1940s.

Thank you so much! I am thinking I need to do another skirt lineup and production. Summer is coming!
Love watching your work!

I am intrigued! The shape only slightly reminds me of early 30s, so I can't wait to see what you make!
You and me both!

I ADORE Evelyn Wood. She is an absolute delight.
What breed of doggie is Mr Watson? He is adorable
Mr. Watson is a Papillon. By far my favorite breed. Lack dog breath, sweet, not prone to barking, loving, and wildly smart.
