MeMadeMay 2019 Day 7

“MeMadeMay (2019) day 7. Yes, a repeat already, but with regular jeans today. I have a few other things I could have chosen, but I had an art modeling gig this morning and wanted something I could just toss on and run out the door. This top is a little short for modern cut jeans, so if I did this again, it would be with one of my higher-waisted pair.”

This is, again, Simplicity 2759 from 1949. This truly is one of my favorite patterns to make, a second version shows up in my wardrobe in 2020, and I’d definitely make it again (with a few modifications). As I mentioned in the original post, they are a little short for modern jeans and, though I don’t really own any modern cut jeans anymore, I would probably add between a half inch to an inch to the bottom hem in the future. There is also another view that has a sort of strange standing collar which I am intrigued by, but it’s difficult to think about making that version as the sort of sweetheart neckline is one of my favorite parts of the ones I already have. In either case, I have spent the last couple of years amassing a sizable collection of vintage cottons, and though I have numerous other vintage blouse patterns to pair them with, this is the one I always keep coming back to and thinking about.
