Now that I'm the proud owner of a Singer Slant-O-Matic (as of last weekend), I'm getting anxious to start grinding out my own garments! Only thing is, I don't really know where to start...
My online research has led me to discover Amber Eden, who has published a good many D.I.Y. sewing articles for stylelist. Here are the links to some of my favorite (and most informative) posts by her:
See How Your Pattern Fits Before Making the Real Thing
Make Your Own Couture-Like Garments
Vintage Patterns in Modern Times
Recycling and Restyling Resources
This image is of one of the patterns I purchased at the most INCREDIBLE estate sale I visited this past weekend. And the best part is that I got the armload of books & patterns I was going to purchase FOR FREE after discovering a pile of money on a bookshelf & bringing it to the attention of the sale facilitators.
Honesty pays, dear readers.
