More of the Russian and Austrian folk costumes. <br /><br />You could send me photos to this email address: 60blueeyes@esagelink.com. Thanks! :) <br /><br />Well, my Dad is a pastor at a (small, non- denominational) local Christian church. We have Sunday school, singing hymns, prayer time, and then the excellent Bible-based sermons. You can read a sample of them here: http://nwcconline.com/blog/. We are sort of "loners" because we are the only homeschooling family at our church!! <br /><br />Is y'all's (can you tell I'm from Texas) church more of a reformed Presbyterian or reformed baptist? <br /><br />Have a blessed day!!<br /><br />~Johanna Kautt<br /><br />www.texasskies.blogspot.comThe Kauttshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332057136959162384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247452763951455930.post-76643699914292577022011-03-28T19:59:54.949-07:002011-03-28T19:59:54.949-07:00The first thing that comes to mind are some Bulgar...The first thing that comes to mind are some Bulgarian costumes which look like jumpers worn with a blouse, or Russian dress made popular by the Polyanka dance. The Polyanka often has a v-waist, gathered, with a ruffle at the bottom. The Bulgarian ones have a band of trim along the hem and are often embroidered on the bodice and skirt. I will try to send you pictures in the near future. Thank you for your good wishes for the Sabbath. How does your family spend the Lord's Day?NonpareilsDesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774502996308280954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247452763951455930.post-77106803698669281642011-03-26T16:36:27.125-07:002011-03-26T16:36:27.125-07:00I *thought* it was a folk costume.

I really want to make a dirndl type jumper, but not just to wear as a costume but to wear whenever I like. :) <br /><br />I have a vest (that needs to be altered) that I could use as part of a folk costume. <br /><br />Have a blessed Lord's day tomorrow!<br /><br />~Johanna Kautt<br /><br />www.texasskies.blogspot.comThe Kauttshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332057136959162384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247452763951455930.post-51339798689168042682011-03-26T15:10:49.658-07:002011-03-26T15:10:49.658-07:00Pretty dress!

I made up my own patterns for the different components, but I am sure there are vest patterns that could be used. Also, a pretty blouse and white underskirt would work just as well as a shift. The overskirt is more complicated due to all the pleats, and it took me quite a long time to accomplish!NonpareilsDesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774502996308280954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247452763951455930.post-38182291639214955502011-03-26T11:57:06.955-07:002011-03-26T11:57:06.955-07:00Nikola (what a pretty name that is),

Which part of the outfit are you interested in? The outer skirt is pleated, accordian style, and is butterflied (drawn up at the sides). It is a Serbian costume.NonpareilsDesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774502996308280954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247452763951455930.post-86069246199852531272011-03-20T19:41:42.018-07:002011-03-20T19:41:42.018-07:00So cute! :) Man, I wish I were *your* little siste...So cute! :) Man, I wish I were *your* little sister!! ;) I can sew a bit, but am not too good at it.
