Sewing Vogue Pattern V2004: Cutting Out Pieces & Thoughts on Cutting Them Out of Bed Sheets
Hi everyone! Over a year ago, I planned on publishing more posts about my sewing progress creating Vogue Patterns’ V2004. I got sidetracked while writing the posts, so I ended up leaving them as drafts. Over a year later, I decided to finish writing the posts. In that time, I decided to scrap my old version of the dress and make a new one. I really didn’t like the way it fit in the chest, so I decided to remake it. I cut out all the pieces… and that’s as far as I’ve gotten in making it. Even though the posts I worked are for the first version of the…

Sewing Plans for November 2024
Hi everyone! I can’t believe it is almost November! This year has been busy for me and has included some high points and low points. October was no different. Even though I had some major high points and some very unsettling lows, I was able to sew more than I thought I would be. I am happy that I have made progress in some of my quilt projects and already drafted the changes to a sewing pattern I want to use. Even though October was supposed to be a major sewing month for me with even more projects started and finishes, it didn’t turn out to be a complete flop…

Sewing Vogue Pattern V2004: Playing With Trim Variations and My Final Decision
Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I wrote a post about sewing my Vogue V2004 dress. Sadly, the final dress I made didn’t fit me right, so I decided to make another one. Even though I had a fitting setback with my first dress, I still have some posts to publish about making it. When I decided to make a new dress, I decided to make it using the same fabric and trim, but I enlarged the bust to make it fit me better. In this post, I want to talk about the trim options I had and what I ultimately picked for the first dress. Since the second…

Sewing Vogue Pattern V2004: The Fashion Fabric & Lining Fabric
Hi everyone! It’s time for a new post in my series about how I made Vogue Pattern V2004! This time, I will be talking about the fabric I choose for the outer/fashion fabric and the lining fabric. By the time this post is published, the dress is already completed! The reasons why I decided to delay posts about making it in a more realistic time is due to the fact I had some fit problems with the bodice. I know what went wrong and how to fix it, but I needed time to focus on it instead of writing posts about the dress in real time. I will go into…

New Sewing Project! Sewing Vogue Pattern V2004
Hi everyone! It’s been a few years since I wrote a series of posts about sewing clothing. I used to do this a lot for the costumes I made. Today, I prefer to make my own clothes instead of costumes! Since I shifted my attention to sewing clothing for myself, I decided to document my process of making clothing in blog posts. The piece of clothing I decided to make is a summer dress using Vogue Pattern’s V2004. I planned on making this pattern for an Easter dress, but the physical pattern didn’t arrive until after Easter. I decided to use cotton sateen fabric to make view A (AKA the…

May 2024 Sewing Project List
Hi everyone! It’s a new month and that means it’s time for me to make a list of everything I want to get done during the month. One of those to-do lists is my sewing list for the month. This month, I will be continuing my work on a sewing project I started last month, fix a plush doll that needs repairs, and work on new dresses for the summer. I want to make my list longer, but after how busy the past two months have been, I decided to keep my list short this month. I also anticipate May becoming a busy month as well. As of the publishing…

New Spring 2022 Sewing Patterns for Prom Dresses- Vogue Patterns
A few days ago, I talked about Simplicity and New Look Spring 2022 sewing patterns that could be used to make prom dresses. At the time I wrote the post, there was only one other pattern company with a Spring 2022 pattern collection available for purchase: Vogue Patterns. Vogue Pattern’s Spring 2022 collection has many patterns I like, but not as many I like as prom dresses. Some may disagree with me, but I didn’t see many patterns that would make prom dresses that are popular this year. Despite this, I wanted to write a post about the Spring 2022 patterns that could potentially make a prom dress or a…

Favorite Prom Dress Sewing Patterns for 2022- Vogue
Continuing with my series of posts about my favorite prom dress patterns, I wanted to include dresses from Vogue Patterns. Vogue Patterns is one of the most fashion forward pattern companies that I looked at for prom dress patterns. When I looked at the special occasion patterns, I found many patterns that make pretty dresses, but I didn’t find many that would be great for teens or would be modest enough to be appropriate for potential prom dress codes. Even though I was worried I couldn’t find any patterns for teens, I found seven patterns that could potentially be good options for prom dresses.
