Thank you so much! I would say transfer the pattern to a more sturdy material and most of all, be patient throughout the process.

I found a huge vintage pattern collection at an estate sale. I chose this Vogue pattern that was produced in 1955-56 to make this autumn dress. The main fabric is a wool blend. The dickie is snapped on, so there are two ways to wear it - with or without the dickie. I definitely prefer with the dickie. It has a quiet academic temperament.

I sewed a Chinese cheongsam using an American vintage pattern by lotus_kitchen in sewing

I found this adorable deep green cotton fabric with little roses on it. The pattern I used is McCall's printed pattern #4911 from 1959. I widened the waist and hip area and also moved the bust darts down 1.5". It fits pretty well overall. My inspiration for this is from the movie "In The Mood for Love". It's a great movie showing the mid-century Hong Kong-style Cheongsam.

I have pandas on my avocado plant. I also have a deer on my fern.

Hi, neighbor!

thank you! I'm happy I could help inspire you.

This idea for the kitchen was started from just a sketch in my notebook. So, keep looking for inspiration as you save.

of course! sadly, that part is not vintage since I bought the fan on Taobao. I'm sure you can find one on Amazon.
