Hollywood Sewalong - The Notebook Part 2

 

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)!

Hollywood Sewalong – The Notebook Part 1

Introducing the Hollywood Sewalong inspired by 

The Notebbook!

                                                

I love this movie and the clothes, set in the 1940's.  So many emotions!  My good half drives a red truck, so the scene where Ryan Gosling (Noah) and Rachel McAdam (Allie) are kissing is so romantic! Smooch, smooch!

I love wearing dresses, pussycat bow blouses and shoulder pads!  What shoulder pads?  Well, maybe not shoulder pads...lol!  Although they can give you broader shoulders and make your waist look smaller! Hum, not a bad idea.

My head is spinning of all the great clothing trends inspired by the movie, The Notebook.

Aren't the outfits Rachel McAdams wears in this movie to die for, especially the dresses, so pretty?  I want to own some of those beautiful outfits!

I'm in for the challenge !!!
