The 1912 Project - Bloggers and Patterns

The 1912 Project is beginning to gain some steam!  Some of the patterns have been digitized and should be going out in the mail soon (I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for my first pattern to arrive!)

Today, I thought I would share some pictures with you of a few of the patterns that are part of the project, and also a list of the bloggers who will be participating.  (SUCH a talented group of folks.  I'm beyond delighted to be working with them!)

Here are some of the my favorite patterns shown on the VPLL 1912 Project blog;

Ladies Coat

Ladies Taffeta Dress

Ladies Simple Dress

Ladies Blouse

I think the Ladies Simple Dress may be my favorite ;)  My plan is to tackle these patterns as-is for the project and then do an additional post modifying each garment so that it's more wearable (For example, I would shorten the Ladies Coat to knee length, and the same with the Simple Dress.  The Ladies Blouse could be paired with a pleated skirt for a slightly nautical feel.  I think, depending on the fabrics used, they could all have a romantic feel that could be paired with more modern accessories for a totally wearable look!)
