Yellow Vintage Sweater

The buttons are all sewn on!  Find the pattern for this sweater below.  I made a few changes by omitting the stitch pattern and collar. 

Hope you enjoy this pattern!

New Floral Dress - Simplicity 4298

Finished my new floral dress!  Same pattern as the little roses dress, Simplicity 4298 version #5.  I think this fabric worked great for this dress.

While I am happy with the finished project I was intimidated with the belt instructions.  Both dresses I've made look much better with a belt but I just made do with one I already had. After playing around online I found someone else who had the same problem with this pattern.  I found her blog post through Vintage Pattern Wiki.  She illustrated how she created the perfect matching belt for her dresses (both of which are so cute!).  Thank you for posting Aimee.

Finished!

I finished my vintage sweater girl pattern and love it! Its still drying at home right now or I would have worn it to work today. The picture below is a better pic in terms of showing the lace detail and true color. I hope that blocking will fix the sleeves from rolling up like they are in these pics.

I so want to order more yarn to start another vintage sweater pattern but know I should wait. Stitches Midwest 2009 is a little more than a week away and I can't wait! I already have plenty of patterns I want to use so this will mostly be a trip to look for yarn. I am looking for yarn for stockings and a hat from Romantic Hand Knits as well as yarn for some other vintage patterns. In the next few days I'll be planning what exactly I want to look for so I don't go buying to much unnecessary yarn!
