famous frocks

20120101-171426.jpg Embarking on new adventures! Just purchased this book, "Famous Frocks: Patterns and Instructions for Recreating Fabulous Iconic Dresses" by Sara Alm & Hannah McDevitt. I just bought a sewing machine to learn how to make my own clothes as well doing some artistic material explorations if the machine can handle it. I've never made my own clothes before, but this book seems perfect. The are dresses from the 1930's-1980's I believe. Seeing some patterns for Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy, Jackie O, Diana Ross and more. Perfectly matched to my love of the retro and dresses. Ready to design!
