I'm looking now & I think I did not get enough fabric! I have never sewn a vintage pattern before (mine is the re-issue 2006) I originally tried to get the Whirl-Away dress from the 1960's but could not find for sale anywhere!! I still need to get fabric to start my muslin. Its great that your sewing the same dress too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624697995577653284.post-66319643650974072422011-01-14T17:43:24.801-06:002011-01-14T17:43:24.801-06:00Hi SRH,

This was one of the first patterns I bought a year ago when I started to sew, because I liked the style of the dress. Well, I'll give it a try - its been lying in my pattern box for a year waiting to be sewn up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624697995577653284.post-86893588785384898042011-01-14T10:34:07.357-06:002011-01-14T10:34:07.357-06:00I'm making this TOO!

I'm ultimately using a cranberry chambray for the whole thing - no contrast fabric. I hope I end up happy with that decision! I have yet to pick out my binding/trim fabric. GOOD LUCK!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18302536778074789243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624697995577653284.post-24640040414446547242011-01-14T05:44:34.315-06:002011-01-14T05:44:34.315-06:00I got this re-issued pattern too.

You got me!<br /><br />HARDLY !<br /><br />This has been in my 'wadder' stash for a while - I started and despaired of it. Hardly a morning job. <br /><br />But don't listen to me !!! Good luck. I hope you re-invigorate my passion for this dress. It looks so great on the pattern cover !<br /><br />lore<br />xSEW RED HOThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03472949057179196910noreply@blogger.com
