Autumn Leaves

If you've ever envied the trees their autumn dress, let a frock like this one cheer your mood! One-piece modified empire dress is constructed in leaf-flecked cotton with muslin sleeves and features a full muslin lining for comfort and durability. Antique mother-of-pearl buttons close front placket.

A Wardrobe for Katie

Katie, how's this for inspiration? These patterns date from the 50's and 60's and should be pretty close to your size already! Let's start a sewing club when we get back to school, alright?

Opening Shop: Rebecca Newton, Dressmaker

If you've been hankering for a custom-made dress, now is your chance! I will be accepting custom projects from May to July 2008 while I am home from school for the summer. Although I primarily work with Baker Lane and Sense and Sensibility Patterns, I am happy to negotiate other projects as well. Drop me a line to discuss what you have in mind at regencyreb@gmail.com.
