Sewing, Vintage Style
If you are having a hard time finding the vintage clothes you want, or if you are hard to fit, or if you just are afraid to wear your great vintage clothing because you are afraid of ruining it, a good solution to that problem might just be to make your own "vintage" clothing using vintage patterns. There are dozens of great vintage pattern sellers on the web, and etsy and ebay are also good sources of them. And to increase the fun, use vintage fabrics to get a very authentic look. You can start your search for the perfect vintage pattern at my webstore, Fuzzylizzie Vintage Patterns.
To see the dress I made from the great 1970s pattern above, and to read about the designer, Clovis Ruffin, visit my blog, The Vintage Traveler.

Vintage Cheap, But Chic: Caramel
In this economy, it's harder than ever to look your best. There are pieces to splurge on but the fact is that most of us will look to vintage as a way to get a unique look for less. I'll be posting vintage finds for $20 and under. Every week you'll be treated to unique fashion finds for just a Jackson or less.
This week I'm into rich caramel brown for Fall:
1. Caramel Kicks Vintage 80's Suede Pumps sz 9 from VintageinBohemia - $18
2. Vintage 1950s Long Soft Leather Formal Womens Gloves in Original Package Sz 6 from yosemitevintage - $19.95
3. 60's Resin Cameo Gold Tone Filigree Pin and Pendant Necklace from Morning Glorious Vintage and Collectibles - $19
4. Vintage womens Handbag tan brown envelope clutch purse leather 70s from aVenir Fashions - $15

Many thanks go to the 40+ members of the Guild who contributed their images to the project, and to the members of the VFG's Site Committee, especially Jenn (Hatfeathers Vintage) for her stunning layouts, and Mary (The Vintage Merchant) for her major work in organizing the project.
