Eva Girl from the Oppulent Poppy blogspot , allowed me to copy these photos , that she has on her blog. Please go and check her blog out, she has made some beautiful reproductions of Olivia's dresses. theopulentpoppy.blogspot.com Thank you Eva Girl. |

DeleteHi Judy
ReplyDeleteJust seen your comment on my blog. Thanks very much! I think something has happened with the blog setup over at Sew Weekly - the page where posts are made looks different ... Anyway, I'll get the number of the Simplicity Pattern for you - it's from 1985. It's a great pattern, not only does the outside come out good, but the way it's constructed means that everything on the inside turns out nicely finished off as well! If you can't find a copy of it maybe we could come to some kind of arrangement with the one I have ...
Thank you Diane, Sounds great..
DeleteDear Judy,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your dress...I just love the dresses that Eva girl makes...she is to talented!
Hugs to Kenny...hope he is having a good day (and you, too!)
With love,
Laura
Thank you Laura, I hope to get photos soon., My camera is acting up [hoping Santa gets me one for Christmas,ha].. But,will get my daughter to use her camera soon.
DeleteHugs and prayers to you and family.
Full, full days here. Knitting, working at Sparrow, BUT sewing room needs to be a semi-priority. How I wish we were next-door-friends! We would search out fabric finds, and help fit each other's Olivia dresses. Wonder how similar our sizes are. HA!!? (am still hoping to take you up on your offer..Jan.? will email) Follow Evas' site too , :) D.
ReplyDeleteHi Deedy,
DeleteOh, How I wish we were next door neighbor friends.Wouldn't that be nice. I all the time, wish I had a friend who sews and we could help each other fit patterns... None of my friends sew or have any interest in it.. Honestly, there are not many people in this area ,that sews.. so sad.
You just email me any time ,I will be glad to send the patterns to you.. I have a pretty good bit of the vintage patterns, in different sizes.. When you are ready , just let me know.It will be fun, for you to make it too.
Hi Judy, the Simplicity pattern is 6787 Misses' Easy-To- Sew Dress 12 Pieces, dated 1985. Let me know if you can't locate it and we'll see what we can do - I'll leave you an email message on the Sew Weekly site too tomorrow with a suggestion I have.
ReplyDeleteSuch good plans, and because I'm so late "to the party" I know the outcome is perfect, YAy!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cathe.. You are so nice..
