Icon post 001: Vintage patterns from the 1930's.

Welcome to tapshoesntea! I have been working on this project in my spare time for the past few weeks. The current layout was made using some pictures of my Great Aunt Mary in the 1940's. There are 31 icons made from pattern scans that iconisms kindly allowed me to use. :)

These are so beautiful! I really adore the style. Taking #s 8, 13 & 14 and will be sure to credit. Thank you!

Thank you so much! :) These icons were incredibly easy to make. Heehee you have the honor of being the first person to ever comment here. :) (Yes, I'm in quite a giddy mood this afternoon)

[parisianpierrot]

I'm very honoured! lol, giddy moods are always good ;) And may I say that it's a wonderful idea creating this journal. There'd be no point in my doing something like that seeing as pretty much all my icons are vintage related.

[chiffonwings]

Heehee, I'm not sure what "inspired" me to do this, I just know that once I got the idea I had to work on it right away. :) I just hope I'll have enough time to work on icons to keep both journals updated. :)

Ooh, I love the '30s! In fact, I'm re-creating a 1930 evening gown...so it's great fun to see these fashion plates!

Taking 30 and 31. Thanks!

[chiffonwings]

Aren't the 30's gowns delicious? I'm thinking of making something from either the 30's or the 40's for the Vintage Pattern Sew Along at sew_vintage. :)

Glad you like them. :) Enjoy!

Wow, you are a busy, busy girl! Beautiful work here. I really admire your action on making communities for interests outside of modern movies and telivision. It's such a breath of relief to see icons besides Lost, Buffy, and Lord of the Rings ;)
