I've decided to join in Sarah's project sewing - somehthing related to one of the Hepburns. Since no part of me could be described as petite, I'm not going to go for Audrey.
Katharine Hepburn, on the other hand, has been one of my favourite actresses for a long time and inspired my middle name (Lauren Bacall having inspired my first!), so I'm going to give an outfit in her style a go. Eva Dress have a 1930s dress which is apparently something she wore in her first film. It's nice, but I'm not sure it's my thing.Instead, I think I'm going to go for Simplicity 3688. I like the trousers and the top, so I'm going to give the 2 a go. As soon as I get back from Goodwood I'll be buying some suitable fabric and will probably start on the trousers.
Sarah is giving away some lovely patterns in conjunction with this sew along project - check out http://www.rhinestonesandtelephones.com/ for full details!
I love that pattern! Debi at My Happy Sewing Place did a beautiful version of it: http://fashionsfromthepast.blogspot.com/2010/05/me-made-may-day-4-bold-and-bright.html
