I love those vintage patterns covers my seamstress Vivian sent me yesterday!
The simple fact that they belong to another decade along with their cute fashion illustrations makes me want to re"vamp" them all and see what the garments could possibly look like in actual fabrics! It kind of reminds me of the time I was learning how to make a pattern..mmm Esmod time! (for those of you who wander what Esmod is, Esmod is the fantastic fashion institute I graduated from in Paris)...In my student time, I was so obsessed with my fashion illustrations! I wanted the garment to be exactly like the sketch!
It must have been hard sometimes for my teachers to convince me in modifying my idea in order to be able to get a "wearable/patterned" pieces...I wouldn't leave any room for alterations- at all-: the idea has to become a illustration, the illustration then becomes paper pattern pieces, those become fabrics' pieces and finally the magic comes to life once sewn together! Let me confirm you this : Pattern making is an Art ! And whoever know how to make a pattern should be called an Artist !
