So far in this Downton Inspired Sewing series we've looked at
fashion from Downton Abbey and
trends from the 1920's. Ready to sew something similar? Below is a round-up of patterns I've come across that seem like they'd be good ones.
Please note, I have not personally sewn from all of these patterns so I'm not giving first hand recommendations, but I think they all look good and may be worth a try.
Dresses:
|
Coco Dress by Designing Twining is a flapper-inspired dress |
|
I love the Five and Ten Designs eBook and have sewn from it. There are lots of different silhouettes you can sew from this eBook, but Look Number 7 is a flapper inspired dress! |

Gatsby Dress by Heidi & Finn (**Next week you'll have a chance to win a copy of this fabulous pattern!!) |

|

Accessories and More:

I have purposely left off toy patterns because I'll be talking more about toys next week. Do you know of other sewing patterns that would work for this time period? Please share them in the comments! And when you sew along with the series use #downtonsewing on
Instagram or share your project with us on
facebook!
These are great! I'm knitting the Bel Cloche by Carina Spencer for myself. I would my yarn last night!
ReplyDeleteLook number 7 from 5 and 10... you can do so much with that one! I was totally aiming for that design but I had completely forgotten about the Gatsby dress... oh, now I am rethinking, hahaha!
