she is just so talented and her vintage looks always inspire me :)
A while back Casey posted about a two-seam top (which I still intend on making)
Someone commented on this post by adding a link to a website with vintage patterns which also had a very similar two-seam top on it..
I purchased that pattern and still (as I said) want to make it..but then I saw another vintage pattern on that website which intrigued me..the Vintage 1950's Circle Bolero Pattern
So I set out to make it :)
After some research online (I'm a cheapskate, I know) I found a picture of the "pattern" (most vintage patterns are more descriptions than patterns anyway)
So it says to simply cut out two circles (with two smaller circles inside as armholes) and sew them together and add some buttons so you can close the bolero..
I thought why go through the trouble of cutting two circles and than sewing them together if I can just cut them out together:
So I just let the circles overlap and only cut the black lines.
From my stack of grandma's fabric I had some really nice white fabric with white flowers woven into it..so I used that to make the bolero out of..
Right now I'm still finishing it and adding some personal touches to it..so those pics are still to follow..but I already wanted to share this with y'all..it really shows sewing doesn't have to be complicated..but boy..I wish I would think of things like these :)
