The past week's work: three digitized patterns from antique garments!
- The 1840s bodice is 34/36" bust - 31" waist (pattern HERE)
- The 1880s is 44" bust - 32" waist (pattern HERE)
- the 1920s dress is 47" bust - 48" waist (pattern HERE)
All three patterns are currently with testers for the next two weeks and after that I will be able to put them up on Etsy!
I have seven other antiques waiting for patterning (and two more on the way) - just have to decide what to work on next....
