Madeleine Mini-Bloomers. 50s Fashion - Patterns Archive. Design by rma / Pattern by Your Style Rocks!
This is the pattern for the 1950s inspired dress that rma designed for our "Past Perfect" contest. It can be worn with a petticoat or you can just leave it away if you prefer a more floaty look for your skirt. We made our own embellishment for the top but of course you can use something off-the-shelf as well. Ours is detachable, so we can always decide whether we're in the mood for some extra attention or not! :-) Please consult our size comparison table, our table of body measurements and the "Patterns" section of our FAQs before you download and print a pattern.

Shopping for the perfect skirt can drive me crazy.
Here’s my beef – I’m nearing 30 and as a result I don’t always want to have to worry that when I bend over I’ll be displaying my pants. Sometimes I just want a knee length skirt – but the shops don’t seem to want to provide me with one. So, I’m a resourceful girl and instead I learnt how to make one. Now, I am pretty lazy and don’t really get on with complicated patterns so I came up with this easy peasy tutorial to make a classic A-skirt and today I’m sharing it with you lovely readers. You will need 1.5-2 metres of fabric (I’m approximately a size 12 and 1.5m was enough)A 10 inch zip (in this tutorial I used a 14 inch zip because it’s what I had. Optional: Cup of teaA little helper (mine came in the form of my 6 month old kitten Rocky) Step 1. Pillowcase Sundress. By Nikol Lohr Sundresses made of cute vintage pillow cases aren’t just for little girls.
If you have a pair of pillowcases, you can make a dress that fits up to a size XL. Look for pillowcases in solid colors or that aren’t too worn out. Thin white cases mean you’ll either need to line them (just cut out some washed white cotton in the same shape as your skirt pieces and sew double layers), or relegate the resulting see-through dress to nightie status. Materials 2 pillowcases, preferably with fancy cuffs, pressed standard/queen for a short dress; king for a longer dress Sewing machine Scissors Straight pins Safety pin Thread Iron Note: I used a serger to finish edges and to sew the simple seams, but it’s not really necessary. Directions Step 1: Turn pillowcases inside-out and trim short seamed sides. Step 2: Measure 4″ in from corner near other seamed edge on first pillowcase. Step 4: With right sides facing, fold one of those pieces in half lengthwise.
Free Clothes Patterns. Posted on | October 9, 2008 | 7 Comments I originally became interested in patternless sewing, many years ago, because I had a hard time finding patterns in my size.
Nowadays, patterns in large sizes abound. Nonetheless, I still love my pattern free sewing. These patterns generally of three types. One type requires you to take your measurements and draw up the pattern yourself. Skirts are very easy to make without a pattern. I came across a few patterns that didn’t fit into any other category, so I gave them their own. We normally assume underwear is too complicated or to time consuming to sew ourselves.
Aprons can usually be whipped up in less than an hour. Shirts and dresses are much more complicated to make than skirts. Coats can easily be the most expensive piece of clothing in your wardrobe.
