Great Gatsby Sewing Challenge?

Rochelle and I spent the end of last week texting about how excited we are for The Great Gatsby movie to come out on May 10th. We were joking about making dresses, taking photos of ourselves at the movie theater, and then doing a blog post of us having a virtual hang out session (we're dorks).

Would any of you be interested in joining in on our fun? I don't mean taking photos at the theater (although you could!), but do you have an interest in making 1920s inspired clothing for a Gatsby sewing challenge?

    yes... I love the extravagant bead work on 1920's cocktail dresses, and I've wanted to make a flapper inspired dress for too long. Since Laurel was introduced, I've been imagining how I could adapt that simple shape for a flapper-ish looking dress. This would be totally fun! Beading aside, it could potentially be a quick project too.

    I am SO excited about this movie (!!!), but the 20's silhouette on myself looks awful. I could imagine making a art deco inspired shirt or something of that nature instead... You should do it!

    I'm in the same boat as isidore256, in that the 1920's silhouette is definitely not right for me, besides the fact that I'll be away from my machine for the entire month of April. Still, I'll gladly cheer everybody else along in the challenge!

    Qui, I love all the 20s things you pin on Pinterest. I thought this would be something you might be interested in ;)

    I was thinking that it might be fun to make garments from modern patterns that are inspired by the 20s (so your shirt would be perfect!) and/or garments that are from older patterns. Or make accessories with a 20s feel (cloche hats, knitted items, beaded accessories etc).

    I am very interested! The 20s is not a decade that comes to mind when I look for inspiration, so this could get interesting!

    YES YES and YES!

  13. Kat SultanieMarch 28, 2013 at 3:35 PM

    Ooh that sounds interesting! I've never made anything 20s as it doesn't suit my figure but maybe I can try an accessory or adapt something to suit.

  14. Reana LouiseMarch 28, 2013 at 4:58 PM

    YES YES I WOULD. I actually got a swatch of fabric the other day because thought "this would be so amazing for a 1920s-ish dress but I have no idea what I would make with it." Seriously. I'm looking (perving) at that very swatch right now.

    I haven't read the book so I don't know how much the movie will interest me. But I'd love to see what everyone came up with for the challenge regardless.

    To echo several others, I would love to make something, but the style of the 1920's doesn't really fit my figure (pear shape). Would love to be a part if I can find something that works! :)

    Well I don't love to *wear* 20s style I do adore them, so I will be super happy to cheer you guys on from the sidelines if you do a sewalong! (And oh how sometimes I want a haircut like hers instead of fussing with rollers and such. lol)
