Vintage Vogue - V2858 - Original 1944 Design

This is a Vintage Vogue original 1944 design, V2858. It is very comfortable and has beautiful lines.




















PARTING SHOT:

We've lost another loved one, a dear sweet uncle, one of the kindest men I've ever known. After the graveside service, we gathered with family at another uncle's home. Although funerals are sad, it does provide opportunity to visit with extended family that we rarely see. Here I will share a few pictures of our time with family.

This is our sweet baby with one of our aunts, my mom's brother's wife.



This is our sweet baby with our uncle, my mom's brother. It is at his and his wife above's home that we were gathering.



Our son, Mr.6, the smaller one in the orange shirt on the right, playing football with his cousins.



This is a picture of myself with my sister and brother. I am on the far right.



This is the back of our daughter, Miss 16, walking through the family cemetery.



This is a picture of my brother and his wife and a cousin and his wife.



This is a picture our aunt who is the sister of our sweet uncle who passed away with her children and grandchildren.



This is an old picture of my mom, her siblings and their cousins. My mom is the one on the far left holding the baby. Her sister is on the far right. And their brother is one of the little boys holding a gun on the far right.



This is a group shot where they are trying to recreate the old picture above when they were young.




This is our dear, sweet, beautiful aunt, the wife of our dear uncle who has passed.



This our dear aunt when she was young before she married.



This is a picture of the two on Valentine's when they were courting.



This is their wedding day.



This is the two of them with their first child.



I hope you have enjoyed these pictures and getting a little glimpse into our lives. I especially love old pictures of family. I am still hoping to post some pictures of my grandmother who passed away recently. The hold up is I am waiting for my husband to have time to show me how to make the files smaller so they will load.

Hope you have a wonderful rest of the day!

Until next time,

Trudy

  3. I'm sorry about your uncle! The funerals are for the living and usually are family reunions in my family too.
    The dress is very nice. Did you make your daughter's dress that she is wearing at the cemetary?

  7. Trudy: That dress is absolutely gorgeous and you look beautiful in it. You did a great job.
    I am "itching" to get some sewing done later this week. I've had so much to do to get school going that I've had no time.
    I am sorry to hear of the passing of your uncle. Your aunt truly is a lovely lady and I enjoyed looking at all of your family photos.

  16. Trudy...thanks for visiting my blog. I am sorry about your loss.

    I also love to sew, I had an etsy as well as ebay store from which I sold custom made fashions for little girls. Unfortunately between the 5 kids, hubby, garden, blog, house, and farm animals I just couldn't keep up! Now I just sew for us. I love that you use vintage patterns...very, very cool!!! Kim

  19. Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm sorry for your loss. I really enjoyed visiting your blog. I love the tips you gave about teaching children how to sew. I'm trying to teach my daughter how to sew. She just turned 10. I taught myself how to sew...I've just learned from trial and error. And from all the lovely blogs, magazines and books I look through. I'm not very good at making garments. I'm still learning. I love the dress you made. It's gorgeous. Maybe someday I'll be able to sew that well.

  22. Thank you so much for visiting my blog. I just lost an uncle about six weeks ago-it's hard when things change. My aunt passed in the early 90's but Uncle Harold patiently waited until he could join her.

    I love the pink dress and you are an excellent model.

  37. That's a pretty dress. I like the gathering.

    I love your mother and her family recreating the old picture. I especially love the guy who wore a cowboy hat when he was about 5 and is doing so now, too! The loss of your uncle was hard, but it was nice to see family, too. And I'm sure your nieces will be telling their children of sewing with Aunt Trudy when they're older. Your family ties are wonderful.
