Whoops, forgot to add...
the fact that I have re-introduced this Australian 1929 Day Frock pattern to the collection when I sent my recent update notice:

1929 German Coat with Pin Tucks and Godets!
Now in sizes 14 - 48:
Below, a series of photographs that may help with the construction of this coat (shown in muslin):
I did my pin tucks 1/32" from each fold.
Shows the converging of pin tuck rows over the shoulder blade at the back of the coat.
Clipping into the corners of each opening for the godets.
Clipping the top corner of the godet.
Folding the top seam allowance of godet and stitching it to the opening of coat with right sides together (photo shows the pin tuck seam on outside of coat here).
Godet sewn into place with top edge ready to be invisibly catch-stitched into place.
Pin tucks converging over bust at front of coat with the bust dart already stitched.
Shows bust dart cut open for pressing flat.
Shows side seam stitched (without godets shown in place in this photo).
Sewing the inside seam of sleeve with pin tucks aligned across seam. (Note: pin tucks are shown on the wrong side of sleeve in this image.)
Outside sleeve seam stitched.
After shoulder seams are joined, photo shows half of coat back with scarf sewn into place with its point at the center back of coat.

On the boards for Summer, 2013
The German 1929 pin-tucked coat with godets will be ready in multiple sizes the middle of this June:
I will have a French Beach Dress pattern in sizes 32" to 46" bust this July:
The original was generously made available by customer Kacey!
...and another men's pattern generously made available by Aimee:
Here is a little fall preview for everyone:
I will put the skirt together from this 1929 pattern in chocolate wool crepe as my plan to make and wear it last fall was dashed.
This fall will be about two extremes, 'inner and outer' wear, highlighting the coat in the 1929 Ensemble above and lounging attire I've not yet shared, so stay tuned!

Now available to 46" bust...
...the last of what I had on the boards for this first quarter of 2013, the 1950's Blouse & Apron:
You will see it is divided in two size groups to make cutting and marking the pattern easiest. More exciting additions soon to come!
Happy Spring, Everyone!

Two patterns now available in size sets
Hoping to alleviate confusion between so many markings, I broke these two patterns each into two size groups, the Men's 1934 Wide Leg Trousers and the 1930's Dinner Gown with Cape:
