Subliminally inspired by the Rogers and Hammerstein song, this 1914 Girl's Easter dress is fashioned in white eyelet with baby blue batiste lining and satin sash.

I sewed our first Regency dresses for my two sisters and I back in October for our family Christmas picture. I used Mrs. Chancey's Regency dress pattern which was wonderful and very easy to work with.

Here is the long-awaited photo.  I have now dressed 8 members of the group and working hard to get the rest of them done.  We attended an ECD dance workshop and ball last night.

If you're new to invisible zippers (used in my 1910s Tea Gown and 1940s Swing Dress patterns), then this is an invaluable help. Step-by-step photo instructions will get you there, thanks to the "Sew? I Knit!" blog. Click HERE for the full tutorial. Enjoy!

Thanks to the lovely ladies at Joyous Homemaking, I was able to teach a live class for the Girls' Edwardian Apron pattern online and record it. It is now available as a download for $15.95, which includes slide visuals in PDF format and audio in MP3 format. If you don't have the pattern yet, you'll need to add that to your cart or purchase the class with ePattern bundled in.

This 1910s Tea Gown class is six lessons long and is for those who already have a good bit of sewing experience. If you are at an intermediate level (or have completed the Regency Gown Class), you will be able to tackle the Tea Gown. This pattern requires more careful fitting, and if you make the full dress in all its glory, you'll be creating multiple skirt layers and working with more difficult fabrics, like chiffon or silk.
