After watching the movie several times and wiping away my tears, I had to concentrate on the fashion of the 1940's from this great movie, #The Notebook. I'm taking part on this Sewalong and I was inspired my the pretty colors of blues, bright greens, purples, and great reds! Even the black and white popped out at me!
When I went shopping for fabric, I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to make. Only that it was either going to be a skirt and blouse or a dress. As I walked down the rows of fabric, I came across some beautiful fabric. It was so hard to decide, I became confused and decided just to go home with nothing in my hands.
That night I watched the movie again and I just fell in
love with this scene.
So the next day I went out to shop for fabric.
This time I knew what I was looking for!
Red and white polkadot
fabric and I found it!!!! My goal is to
finish the dress
by May 2nd, my birthday,
that way I can wear it on
the 3rd of May (date night)!

I have always thought that I was born in the wrong era. 20's-30's for me. I love the style. Great Post
Thanks Krystal and Amy!!! @Amy, you would look great in it too!!! You could be casted as Rachel McAdam (Allie)!
Oh loved this idea! I always want to do a sewalong but I always end up being too busy! A red polka dot dress like the one she wears in the movie will be amazing.
I cannot wait to see the reveal :) I love red and white polka dots. Really I can't tell you how excited I am ;)
Thanks Anita!!! Well, if you have time in your schedule I sure hope you join in the fun!!
