The Nipped-In Forties Suit:  Vogue 1932

This re-issued pattern from the late 1940s captures both elements of the 1940s and the look that would stick around into the 1950s. While Christian Dior’s New Look of 1947 is best known for its hour-glass silhouette with soft shoulders, nipped in waist, and wide, generous, and long skirts, he also offered long, skinny skirts too. Such skirts appeared with suits especially and suits were a mainstay of the public wardrobe of women who worked or shopped in cities.

Here you see the nipped in waist on the jacket as well as the long narrow skirt that marked the New Look. Multiple darts fit the jacket close to the body at the waistline and bustline in the front, and then piecing fits it closely to the back. The sleeves are shaped to the natural curve of the arm via two shaped pattern pieces. The flaps on the front of the jacket are merely decorative, one of the rare non-functional pockets looks previous to the 1960s. Notice how their decoration emphasizes the hipline of the hour-glass silhouette. The coat is more practical as its pockets work.

A skirt this straight was a new thing and not that easy to move in. A pleat at back hemline helped, but garment-design books just a few years earlier would have rejected the straight skirt as a foolish idea. It simply does not give the legs enough room to stride without pulling the fabric. 

The collared coat is boxy, a shape that was seen earlier in the 1940s. Notice how it differs from today’s boxy patterns: it has shaping darts at both front and back shoulders. Notice how the illustrations use its boxiness to emphasize the hour-glass shape of the suit. Obviously, one needs to close the coat to stay warm, but the illustrations push it out of the way in favor of showing the suit beneath.

My latest creation:

I made this two-piece outfit for our Hunger Games theme party. Instead of going literal and recreating a gown or outfit from one of the movies, I decided to just create a bold and eye-catching look. The skirt and top are from a Vogue pattern I picked up a few years ago. When I brought the pattern, I bought the houndstooth as well knowing that would be a good look but wasn't sure what to do for the top. Those of you who have known me for a while might be thinking that color combo looks familiar on me.

It's not just a repeat of my wedding gown colors, the top is made with the same fabric as the sash! The sash pieces were long, leaving lots of usable leftover fabric; more than enough to make a top.

The tiny mirrors were inspired by a dress I saw in an ad from Sak's. I've worked with sequins quite a bit and often have people who think I sewed each sequin on individually rather than buying a fabric covered in sequins. Well, this time I did hand sew each individual mirror.

I'm kind of against hand sewing since a machine does most things better and will use embroidery needles for hand tasks because they're blunter and have larger eyes. But this fabric was too fine so I had to bust out the tiny and sharp hand needles.

Which brings me to the disaster portion of my story...

10:30 pm Friday night, I had put the sewing project down next to me on the couch for a minute to look at my phone. All week I'd been sewing leaned over to one side so Charlie could snuggle in my lap while I work. My obliques were sore enough that I was trying to remember which move in which workout I'd done this week that get that way. None. I was just sitting crooked all week to accommodate snuggle boi.

So! My sewing was on the couch right next to me, with the thread and needle dangling off the edge. I use the double thread technique so the needle is secured and can't come off without breaking the thread. And I catch Charlie chomping on that dangling thread. I scold him and grab the thread and pull. But he pulled back and the thread snapped. And he ran away. At once I'm thinking, "where's the needle?" And start checking the floor where he'd been standing. Michael heard me holler so he went to the cat and saw Charlie gagging in the hall. A little saliva or bile was coughed up but no needle! Now I'm absolutely freaking out and calling the emergency vet only to find out they're not just closed for the evening, they're closed until Sunday. And I read about what happens if your cat ingests something sharp like a needle and now neither Michael or I can go to sleep.

The cat was acting normal so we did go to bed (but not until two am) and I talked to his regular vet first thing in the morning. And we pack up and go to the emergency vet at Cornell over an hour away. And of course Charlie poops in his crate while I'm driving so I have to clean that up in a Burger King parking lot that I knew was right off the 81 in Tully.

The vets were able to see Charlie, take an x-ray, and determine that the needle could likely be removed via endoscopy. Meanwhile, I still need to finish sewing these tiny mirrors for the party the same night. So I'm the crazy lady who's like, "My cat swallowed a sewing needle!" All while continuing to sew with another needle with the same characteristics in the waiting room. I even pulled it out in the exam room with the vet to show the way the needle was attached to the thread and describe how the thread would have to have broken in two places for the cat to have swallowed thread as well.

Seeing the x-ray with the needle was kind of a relief. Up until then, part of me thought maybe the needle was lost in the carpet at home and I was overreacting. Nope, this naughty boy did in fact swallow the needle and spending the day at the vet was the correct choice.

Here's my healthy boi, needle free, happy and recovering at home. We finally got to leave Cornell around four pm, after Charlie woke up from anesthesia. The endoscopy doc offered me the needle to take home but I politely declined. I was excited to see it though. They also confirmed no trauma to the esophagus or stomach, so he's going to recover well.

Moral of the story: don't let your cat swallow a sewing needle.

Halloween 2024 With Vogue 1835

Hello! Happy Halloween and welcome to another new make and sewing pattern review. This time it’s Vogue 1835, a casual knitwear shirt and pants set featuring an asymmetrical shirt and basic drawstring joggers. I loved this pattern the minute I saw it.
