Simplicity 3688

You were right Joanne. You can't go wrong with Hepburn. Here are photos of my vintage project. No, I didn't make the blouse. It was thrifted for two bucks!

These trousers are made from a metallic thread wool. Beautiful drape. I am truly proud of my lapped zip application. I'll have more details on my blog.

1940s "Empire Waist Trousers"

Hello everyone! I'm Ashley from Bramblewood Fashion and several other blogs. I've been sewing clothing for 5 years this month. But sewing in general since '95 when I was five years old.

After much thinking, and finding that some of my vintage patterns have gone missing, I decided on Decades of Style 1940s Empire Waist Trousers pattern. Fitting pants is something I don't understand yet, and they have been on my "to do" list since August of last year. I figured this sewalong would give me the push I needed to get started. The fabric I'm using is a lightweight pinstripe wool that was given to me.
