Funny that I decided to answer this post first and see that DaveyS and I are on the same page right now! My latest projects are all about undies, although I imagine that mine are not the same kind she mentions. I've been doing modified olde timey bloomers and pantaloons. More for outerwear than underwear, though. Although I am a total newbie seamstress, I was quite proud of my latest project... A pair of knee length pantaloons, created from upcycled baby crib sheets and vintage lace no less! The part that I was proudest of was creating them without a pattern. Are the perfect? Not even close, but they ARE straight, the hems are even, all the seams are top stitched, and I even got the crotch seam to look right. I think they look really cute poking out from under a short, flouncy skirt! </p> <p>My next projects involve more bloomers/pantaloons made from used cotton sheets and a beautiful old lace tablecloth I bought at a Salvation Army type store. I'm also going to be doing some natural indigo shibori dyeing and using that fabric and a vintage silk sari to make some simple wrap skirts, tie-back camisoles (hippie shirts), and slip dresses for my Etsy shop. </p> <p>I'm kinda trying to work an Asian/Edwardian/Hippie/Bohemian Fusion Thing. I will try to post some photos if I remember! </p> http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/topic/our-own-pretty-ways#post-552 Sun, 05 May 2013 19:28:20 +0000 moasan1 552@http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/ <p>can you get the pattern in american size 4 ? </p> http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/topic/celebrate-summer-my-spring-dress#post-549 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 11:20:43 +0000 misslight 549@http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/ <p>ok, thanks Laralee.. it shows that i'm new here :) </p> http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/topic/celebrate-summer-my-spring-dress#post-548 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 14:01:31 +0000 laralee 548@http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/ <p>She has used the Celebrate Summer pattern, from the pattern archives here on this website!!! :-) </p> http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/topic/celebrate-summer-my-spring-dress#post-547 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:25:36 +0000 misslight 547@http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/ <p>I hope my first dress (currently working on it) will turn out just as good.

I completely failed on my first draft of the dress but my second I thought was better. I decided to use two colors for the bodice and skirt instead one and accented it a little with white stitching. It could be a lot better, but I will still wear it.<br /> <a href="https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/6670_4734273396634_801232262_n.jpg" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-post','https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/6670_4734273396634_801232262_n.jpg']);" target="blank" rel="nofollow">https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-p..</a> </p> http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/topic/still-alive#post-544 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 16:10:56 +0000 Kim 544@http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/ <p>Thank you, misslight!

But there is no company behind Your Style Rocks!, it is a completely private endeavour so we have to make concessions to our day jobs and to some private discomfort that we experience right now. So, sorry for the current lack of new patterns and thank you for your patience. We promise that we are not giving up on this! :-) </p> http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/topic/still-alive#post-541 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:28:37 +0000 misslight 541@http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/ <p>so, i was wondering how alive this site still is...<br /> are there still new patterns coming? when will the next contest be?<br /> xo </p> http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/topic/vintage-dresses#post-540 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:26:35 +0000 misslight 540@http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/ <p>Hey everybody!!<br /> okay so, i'm new here and a beginner sewer :)<br /> I'm in love with vintage dresses, especially the 50' and 60' ones.

Currently we have no plans for publishing patterns created by members here on Your Style Rocks! - As for the undergarments, so far we have not noticed a particular demand for that, so right now it is little more than a vague possibilty that we might run a contest for designing lingerie in the near future. </p> http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/topic/your-lastest-sewing-quests#post-538 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 08:30:22 +0000 DaveyS 538@http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/ <p>Hey, does this website do patterns for undergarments? For the quality. Sewing my own underwear has been so much cheaper, starting out with an old skirt and whatever lace was on clearance, ending up with the best garter I ever had! willing to submit patterns if this website doesn't mind the use of fashionable undergarments. </p> http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/topic/i-cant-dl-any-patterns#post-537 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 20:47:21 +0000 Kim 537@http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/ <p>BondiRose, I just checked and everything is working fine. I can also see that people are downloading the pattern without any problem every day, including today. Could you please give us a little more detail on where exactly you are stuck? I'm sure we can help! </p> http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/topic/i-cant-dl-any-patterns#post-531 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 08:29:27 +0000 BondiRose 531@http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/ <p>Hi there, I would love to download the EVA dress pattern but it's not even on the site.

I just joined tonight and thought I would answer this post.<br /> At the moment I am almost finished a black and white stretch lace, underlined with black taffeta coat. I just have to find some great looking closures and that one is complete.<br /> I also have a suede coat to complete, similar style with design detail changes to the sleeves, a pair of pants to go with, in suede as well and a corset out of metallic brocade.<br /> I am also working on a pink and white polka dot satin corset, has pleated ribbon trim, with pink beads on each pleat. Just needs to be grommeted. The long white satin skirt has a train with the same ribbon trim along the thigh seamline. The lining just has to be attached and this is completed. Also in the process of building the hat to go with. I spent the past while making the flowers to go onto the hat and then this garment is completed.<br /> My next couple of projects are going to be a throw, a long coat and an Elizabethan gown, including the undergarments to hold the silhouette. These should take me til early winter this year.<br /> I may get sidetracked with the odd project here and there, but already have the next group of projects planned after those are competed. </p> http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/topic/your-lastest-sewing-quests#post-520 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 07:50:18 +0000 boundsay 520@http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/ <p>I AM INTERESTED IN kinds of dresses, hope to get more info. here. </p> http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/topic/eva-dress/page/2#post-518 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 23:22:08 +0000 ElvishLady 518@http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/ <p>Thank you!

If you go to the below link, you will see she did the Eva dress in a cotton and it did very well. I think the chiffon would look beautiful in this pattern. Hope this helps.</p> <p><a href="http://theopulentpoppy.blogspot.com/2012/01/eva-dress-yellow-floral" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-post','http://theopulentpoppy.blogspot.com/2012/01/eva-dress-yellow-floral']);" target="blank" rel="nofollow">http://theopulentpoppy.blogspot.com/2012..</a> </p> http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/topic/has-anyone-made-the-50s-fashion-dress#post-513 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 17:23:39 +0000 SRizer8 513@http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/ <p>From the sheen of the bodice I would guess that they used taffeta on the sample, maybe organza for the skirt since it seems to be sheer but still has some body. That combination would be gorgeos on a wedding gown but if you used tafetta on the skirt as well it would highlight the pleating and give a more structural apperance. The pattern is really versatile and many different fabrics could be used to create different styles. </p> http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/topic/eva-dress#post-511 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 03:19:06 +0000 ElvishLady 511@http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/ <p>Hello! I'm new here, and was wondering about the fabric I can use for this dress. I am really hoping to make a cowl neck dress using chiffon, and was wondering if this pattern (which is awesome and beautiful!) would work with this fabric? Please let me know!

My passion and quest in sewing, and in life, is to reduce my carbon imprint. I am a teacher, and two years ago my 10 year old students challenged me to make a pledge- no new clothes, ever! I have kept the pledge, but since I love cloth, and love sewing, I have taken to shopping for cloth/clothing from used shops. This led me to start a project sewing only with used, found, given, or other second hand cloth, thread, and accessories. It has been so fun! It challenges my creativity to find cloth that matches, to source buttons, and so on. I have now started a small clothing line here in Norway, where I live, called Denne Lille Jord (This Little Earth), part of a handmade collective (a little like etsy). I was making dresses over Christmas,as well as bags and things for gifts, and am now using spare moments (As a teacher I'm busy when school is on!) to experiment with fabric jewelry from scraps left over from those projects. During Feb. break I am going to start a line of Spring and Summer dresses and sun dresses. So happy to have found you! Here is a link to some dresses <a href="http://epla.no/shops/dennelillejord/" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-post','http://epla.no/shops/dennelillejord/']);" target="blank" rel="nofollow">http://epla.no/shops/dennelillejord/</a> - I don't know if it will work. Also a link to a dress I made for my daughter- sorry I can't put in the facebook link as it gives access to all her other photos. Please let me know how to link pictures and I will do that! </p> http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/topic/has-anyone-made-the-50s-fashion-dress#post-498 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 09:40:18 +0000 kaliani17 498@http://yourstylerocks.com/forum/ <p>Haley, I sew this style pattern a lot, but with a circle skirt. My advice for matching the chevrons- pin, pin pin! It would be lovely if you could get some slightly varied satin pattern or color for the chevrons! I have been looking at Spring Summer fashion trends and have been thinking of making this chevron style in patchwork stipes of black and white, but haven't decided on the skirt yet. For a wedding dress you will want to make sure you fully line the bodice, and use a petticoat so the skirt stands out as in the picture. Good luck! </p>
