One of the problems with having so many unfinished projects lying around is that I get distracted quite easily. I tell myself that I'll work on a certain project, but then something that's been lying around for months catches my eye and I just have to work on it. Back in October 2011 I showed you the progress I had made on the Rosebuds and Hemstitched Baby Dress that I took as a class at the SAGA Convention. This past weekend I just had to pick it up and work on it. I finished all the hemstitching on the block of fabric that would become the sleeves. Here's a little step by step tutorial on the hemstitching as taught by out teacher, Jeannie Baumeister of The Old Fashioned Baby. First, slip the needle under four threads and loop around the thread. Pull the thread up and give it a bit of a tug to make a little thread bundle. Then bring the needle around to the left of the thread bundle and bring under two horizontal threads just above the withdrawn portion, and pull up to secure. Repeat, repeat and repeat! This is a very soothing and relaxing stitch, and I found I didn't want to get up while I had any length of stitching left. I had to force myself to stand and stretch out my shoulders. The middle row has the hemstitching on both sides of the withdrawn threads, but the two outer rows just have one row of hemstitching. After all the hemstitching was complete, I added the lace edging to the front of the dress. The pattern calls for gathering the lace and stitching it to the edge of the lace insertion that had already been added to the dress. I pinned the lace to the dress, making little loops between each pin for the gathers. Then I pulled a thread from the header of the lace insertion, and it gathered and lay down nicely. I didn't pull all the gathers from one end, but pulled from each end, gathering half the length of the lace at a time. You can sew this down by machine, but Jeannie recommends doing this by hand, as it gives you much more control. And you know what? She's right! I know I would have said some very naughty words doing this by machine, but by hand it's nice and relaxing, and really doesn't take that much time. Besides, speed is not the key here. As I'm stitching, I'm able to even out the gathers with my thumb. After all the lace was applied, I started in on the bullion roses that the dress is named for. These are on one of the sleeves. Now I won't be posting about this for a while, as I have over 60 of these little guys to embroider. They do work up quickly, but 60 is still quite a few! I've only made two posts on this dress, but click here to see them both.

Here are some more beautiful New England college girls of the '30s, '40s, and '50s! I've been taking most of my style cues from these gals lately; I love how practical and easy-to-wear these little ensembles are, while still retaining plenty of vintage charm. I imagine once I've graduated and have a "real" job these kinds of outfits would look smart in the professional world, as well. (See, when I was a naive li'l freshman, I was totally expecting my classes to look like this next one: eager, fresh-faced youth listening attentively to a wise old intellectual in ornate historic buildings... talk about disappointing, haha! Look at them, they're having tea. So jealous...) Note the two girls in sailor middies! Adorable. Note the girl in the backwards cardigan! I could stare at this one for hours; so many glorious details! These covers from the Girl Scouts official magazine are equally swell for sportswear and collegiate looks; see more here. Finally, here's a little tune to shake off the mid-week blues. I can't stop listening to it, I've been humming it for days now! (much to the annoyance of all around me, I'm sure ;)

It's very easy to get caught up n the idea that what is being created today is truly unique to this generation. If you just take a short look back, you'll see that as we go forward, we build on the past. I came across this Pinterest page that has incredible historic fashions and inspiration. As I scrolled through, what really caught my eye were pieces from the 1960's. I think it's interesting to take a look back, see where we were, where we are, how we have changed, and how we have stayed the same. Below, the sun and moon from Yves St. Laurent. There was a lot of whimsy in the 1960's. The pocket is a purse! Lots of space age influences. Norma Kamali did a collection a few years ago that was very reminiscent of the piece below. Janis Joplin's bell bottom pants. Interesting use of a tablecloth. Everything was about geometric patterns and flowers! Pucci was everywhere, mixing patterns and colors in such vibrant ways. Picasso's abstracts fit perfectly on to a shift dress. Embellishments even had a space age feel. The basic forms were simple, but beautifully designed. Above and below, Balenciaga. Take note that the piece below is a shift with an ethereal train. I hope you have enjoyed this stroll through the 1960's as much as I enjoyed putting it together! Have a wonderful week! Rhonda
