Vintage Vogue #3

Yoke in broderie anglais and bodice in chambray with red top-stitching:

Placket added to pattern as an alternative to the lapped centre front provided on the pattern (I will write a how-to-make-a-placket post shortly).

I added three pintucks to the hem of the skirt- these are actually bigger than pins, so just tucks! I topstitched them in red to keep with the red/ white/ blue theme.

Almost finished! Just making some decisions about binding, pockets and belt:

Vintage Vogue Competition

I am entering a Vintage Vogue competition via Sew Direct. You start with a current pattern from the Vintage Vogue range and adapt/ customise/ modernise in any way you like. I am using V1171 and going for Steven Alan/ APC/ red, white and blue inspiration.

Collection of images I'm drawing inspiration from:
