Annie Oakley Duster

[Angel Outlaw]

anyone know where I might find a pattern for this??? it is fitted and is open up the sides so you can get to your guns quicker.

And I was wondering if there is another split skirt pattern other than Laughing Moon? I have the McCalls or Butterick which ever one that is, and I have 4 now, so I wanted something a little different.

[Poney Racer]

Angel Outlaw - I don't - but you must share that animal print outfit you wore on sunday with everyone - it was quite the outfit!!

Sorry I didn't get a chance to say hello

Poney Racer

[Angel Outlaw]

Hey Poney Racer, I don't have any pics yet, there are several out there tho! every time I turned around someone was taking a pic. I will post when I get mine back.

Thanks! I ran into a good buy on that fabric quite by accident, I was going to the bike shop which was closed so I wondered into this little quilt shop and ta-da there it was, 8 yards for $7.50! I may have a jacket out of it soon.

[Lily Orleans]

I don’t know if this is helpful or not but Buckaroo Bobbins as added an ankle length version to their Outing Jacket pattern. I have not tried this nor do I own it. I know that some of the other ladies have had problems with their patterns, but I don’t recall seeing anything about this pattern. http://www.buckaroobobbins.com/page9.html

They also have a split skirt pattern (on the same page as the jacket). This I think Fannie had a problem with. I own this one but have never made it.

I have made the ladies blouses, Primerose skirt & the men’s shirts with good success.

I hope this is some what helpful & would love to see your animal print outfit!!!

[Poney Racer]

I worked at a place called G Street Fabrics and we had the $1.97 table.

When I was patient enough camo patterns would come in that when I was in highschool all my hunting outfits were made for me by mom or older sister.

My sister would aslo make me wild shirts to wear for fun - like zebra stripes and leopard pull over shirts - back in my hard rock craze of the mid to late 80's.

Hope to shoot again at same place and actually meet you in person.

Poney Racer

[Angel Outlaw]

Thanks Lily, that isn't the same but I like it better:)

I may order the split skirt, I have the Laughing Moon pattern but it looks difficult.

Poney, I have been to G-Street, I have to take out a loan when I go there! I would like to get up there some day and buy some ultrasuede tho.

[Lily Orleans]

The Laughing Moon split skirt is wonderful!!!! You should give it a try if you already have it. I love mine. I have made it twice & have plans to make several more. The only “hard” thing, if you want to call it that, are all the button holes for the front panel. Really you could just leave it off if you wanted to.

Here are a couple links to some pictures of the ones that I made from the Laughing Moon Pattern.

I really love that one. I was thinking of selling my Buckaroo Bobbins split skirt pattern. I am not sure that I will use it seeing as like the LM one so much. Mine is from before they added the vest though. PM me if you are interested.

[Pretty Mean Shawme]

Adorable outfits !
You two look great.

Did you extend the skirt? On me that skirt is about mid calf.

Thanks PMS!!!

Extend it! :rofl I wish! You forget I am barely 5’4”. :rolleyes: If I do a 1 ½” hem then it is about perfect. My green one could actually be a tiny bit shorter.

[Angel Outlaw]

ok darn it, I will try the laughing moon one! I made the bolero and it is very short on me, is that the vest from the pattern?

[Lily Orleans]

Yup that vest is the Laughing Moon, but like I said I am not tall person & I am very short waisted. So I luck out I guess on that pattern that it looks longer on me?

[Clancy]

I totally agree with Lily. The LM spit skirt is easy, you can do it in about 2 hrs from start to finish. I just love them and they are great to shoot in. I have the Buckaroo Bobbins one and i will not use it. I tried it once and i didnt like it at all.

This is my latest LM skirt, i wore it at our Nationals but didnt get a picture of me in it. The only time consuming thing on this was all the embroidery which i did by hand.

[Poney Racer]

G St was starting a mail order and internet business as I left.

Did you check and see if they are on the WWW.

They now have stores at Seven Corners and Chantilly up in Northern VA.

Angel, Folkwear also has a divided skirt pattern, their Big Sky Riding Skirt:
http://www.folkwear.com/frontier.html
Assembly is finicky, and if I did it again, I'd make the lengthwise seams of the "legs" straight so that the skirt would be wider and have less of a flared effect. But it's a good pattern, especially if you like your riding skirt very skirt-like; the Buckaroo Bobbins divided skirt is too narrow and trouser-like for my taste.

The other nice thing about the Folkwear pattern is that the front panel is designed to fold back and button on itself, rather than be removed entirely, when you want to ride astride (or look as if you're about to). When you want to go back to your modest skirt-like look, you don't have to try to remember where you put the front panel you removed!

Cheers,
Coffee Em

[Iron Ed]

...This is my latest LM skirt, ...
Hey! I -like- that one!

[Lady LaSalle]

Clancy, you need to quit it! Stop with the soutache and the fancy thread work already! You're making me want to do it, and that is a BAD thing!

[Kitty Phann]

Clancy,
Nice job on the outfit.

[Clancy]

Clancy, you need to quit it! Stop with the soutache and the fancy thread work already! You're making me want to do it, and that is a BAD thing!


LL you the woman who hates to hand stitch, you must have it bad if your wanting to do it.....Let me see what else i can come up with!....

Ed, Kitty thanks for the compliments....Lots of hrs of hand sewing in that one, even during my lunch break at work!....

[Allie Mo]

Clancy and Lily,

Both of your outfits are beautiful! I love the soutache and embroidery.

Regards,

Allie Mo

[Coffee Em]

Clancy, the thing about your embroidery is, not only do you do it, but when you're done, it looks good. As in, really, really good. If I did it, it would take three years to finish, and the finished product would look like someone's mommy was trying to teach her to hand-sew.

Sigh. Just another reason why Ms. Coffee needs that embroidery machine...

Cheers,
Coffee Em

[Angel Outlaw]

Ms Em, my friends mother is selling me a slightly used sewing/embroidery machine with ALLL the accessories she has and lots of downloads $500!!!!!

I can't wait to get my hands on it! I will embroidery everything I make, that is if I can figure out how to use it.

[Clancy]

Angel that sounds like a great deal!... Im saving for a new machine, but with wanting to shoot EOT next year the sewing machine has to take a backseat...Im kinda hoping maybe Santa Claus will leave one under the christmas tree...

I need to look into the costs of how much they are over there compared to here and see if it is worth buying one there and getting a power converter for it to use back here. (yes we have different power wattage 240v not 110)

[Angel Outlaw]

This one is a 1997 model but this lady buys only the best so I think it will be a good deal, this was her second or third one:re must be nice to have money:) I hope to get it in a couple of weeks, I have to have anothe girls sewing weekend before SC State Match, my friend should be able to bring it with her then.:ban

[Pretty Mean Shawme]

Angel... What brand is it do you know? I am officially jealous of you :cry

[Coffee Em]

We haven't been much help on the duster question, have we? Do you have a picture of it?

Cheers,
Coffee Em

[Angel Outlaw]

I don't know the brand yet but am sure it is a good one.

Coffee, I don't have a picture, it was at a vendor's at the Shootout. It was fitted somewhat and the sides were not sewn up, the were hemmed and left open so you could grab your guns and shoot - altho you would have to put your shotgun belt over it to reach the shells, but the sides would be over your pistols and out of the way. If I could find a pattern for a women's fitted duster type jacket I could make it. I like the one someone listed here I think it was a buckaroo bobbins jacket, I will have to go back and look, it just wasn't a duster type jacket.

When I have more time to think about it, I may figure something out.:18..

The machine is a Husqvarna, model the Rose?

[Pretty Mean Shawme]

What about the jacket that Clancy posted in the Non Victorian pattern thread, with some modifications, it just might work, it looks a lot like the Annie Oakley Duster one of the companies is selling out there now.http://www.hotpatternsstore.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/HPCT%20Artful%20Dodger%20Violet's%20Coat%20Env.gif

[Angel Outlaw]

that might work! button the whole front and leave the side seams open!

Thanks

[Pretty Mean Shawme]

OMG!!! Problem solved! Annie Oakley Coat http://www.tombstoneoutfitters.com/store/images/tn/patterns/tnannieoakley.jpg

#PT03 This is a Full Length Women's Riding Coat with Split Sides. Sizes 4 to 20. $!4.00 plus shipping




I'm ordering one as I type this!

http://www.tombstoneoutfitters.com/store/patterns.htm

[Angel Outlaw]

:ty :ty :ty THATS IT

[Lily Orleans]

How do you know what size pattern to order? Is there a sizing chart & I just missed it?

[Pretty Mean Shawme]

Don't Order yet!

I am looking into offering this to my Opulent Readers! :yp

[Lily Orleans]

Don't Order yet!

I am looking into offering this to my Opulent Readers! :yp

Well Good Luck! (But still how do you know what size you need?)

[Clancy]

Angel i also have this pattern. Im not sure if they still carry it but you may find it on the net. I have made this coat and it always gets lots of comments. Even had a few people ask me to make them one. It has the split back and you could quite easily leave the sides open...

Now if your wanting to shoot in it, i wouldnt recommend it, they are a bit long, and you need to think about treading on it or getting it caught on something...

Mine is made from a taupe coloured lightweight canvas with a dusty rose contrast and i just used muslin to line it.....And i let it get nice and dirty so it has that worn in cowboy look....

[Garnet Rose]

Clancy, What's the full pattern number? I can see that it ends in 53. Thanks!

[Kitty Phann]

My guess would be 5453:10

[Kitty Phann]

I was wrong!:blush

Kitty ( who hangs head in shame)Phann

[Coffee Em]

You're right, Lily, no sign of a size chart on their website. I just e-mailed them asking for more info; if I get word back, I'll pass it on here.

(I really need their patterns for a Vaquero suit...)

Cheers,
Coffee Em

[Clancy]

Garnet.... i will check that when i get home.. I didnt realise till you pointed it out...

[Clancy]

I also came across this, they are the same patterns as Tombstone has but a little cheaper i think not by much. It states that there is one size only per pattern. So you need to see what best suits you....

http://oldwestreplicas.com/victorianpatterns.html

[Clancy]

The simplicity pattern is 9453

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

I have the Simplicity pattern, and that is one of the projects on my list for next year. I plan to make one, probably out of wool to wear during my trip to Alaska. The Tombstone Annie Oakley coat is hanging in my closet. I actually bought it from a vendor that used to sell for Tombstone. It isn't lined, which I'd like to do (possibly a removable one) and I'd like to soutache to it. But I really like it, even though I still take it off when I shoot.

[Angel Outlaw]

Clancy, that one is really cute! I like it. PMS let us know about that one too!

[Garnet Rose]

The simplicity pattern is 9453
Thanks, Clancy!

[Angel Outlaw]

Clancy, 9453 doesn't exist in the Simplicity site, is it an older pattern?

[Lily Orleans]

Clancy, 9453 doesn't exist in the Simplicity site, is it an older pattern?

Angel,

I am sure that is an older pattern. You might try Ebay or there are a couple of site that all they sell is out of print patterns. I can't think of them at the moment, but let me see if I can find you a link.

[Lily Orleans]

OK I did a quick Google search for you & here are a couple to try.

http://www.oldpatterns.com
http://lanetzliving.com/
http://www.rustyzipper.com/links/links2_2.html

You know I think that I have that pattern too. I think it was from the "Cattle Kate" collection or something like that. I haven't actually made it yet though. You might try searching with that also. Good Luck!

[Coffee Em]

Tombstone Outfitters responded quickly to my e-mail about their sizing, but they don't seem to have a standard set of body measurements for each size. Their reply: "The sizes are a little different for each item.
Please let me know what pattern or patterns you are interested in and about
what size and I can give you the measurements."

Well, fair enough, then. Their e-mail address is: tombstone@rtconnect.net .

Cheers,
Coffee Em

[Angel Outlaw]

this stinks:18 none of those sites have the 9453 pattern, I even searched under Cattle Kate. I really like that one too.

[Pretty Mean Shawme]

Sorry I haven't heard back from Tombstone, but when I do, we will offer the best price we can, in the mean time I'll keep looking for that other pattern for you!

[Angel Outlaw]

:ty PMS!!!! I can wait - impatiently tho:w2

[Lily Orleans]

I looked on Ebay earlier for you & I can’t believe that there aren’t any on there!!!! Ebay almost always has what I am looking for! Might be more than I want to spend but they usually have it! I would just keep looking & I bet one turns up!

[Angel Outlaw]

I have looked everywhere I can think of for that 9453 Simpliclity pattern - maybe its an Aussie special???? they didn't sell them in the US?? I really like that pattern and want it.

[Clancy]

Angel... It a Simplicity pattern, we dont get different ones to you guys, Our seasons are just behind.... I have had the pattern for quite some years. Maybe if you try and email Simplicity they may be able to tell you what they do with their obsolete patterns.

Have your tried Ebay.com.au or ebay.com.ca for Australia and Canada. I will look some mroe for you tonight and see if i can find it down here somewhere

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

Oh, they sold them in the US, because I have it. I've been searching the Web for this pattern for you, but I can't find it.

[Allie Mo]

Here it is at eBay Canada:

Allie Mo,

You do know that that auction ended in July right?

Angel,

I keep looking for you as well, with no luck. You know you can set up a search on Ebay so that if the item you are looking for turns up they will send you an e-mail?

[Angel Outlaw]

thanks Lily, my friend did that, we both want one.

[Allie Mo]

[QUOTE=Lily Orleans]Allie Mo,

Sorry, I, duh, didn't, duh, notice, duh!:re

I was so excited to find it...

Don't feel bad when I did a search for it on the Ebay CA it popped up for me too. I got all excited & then saw that it had ended! Poor Angel! We sill find you one yet!

[Angel Outlaw]

My friend got a response from Simplicity, NO MORE PATTERNS, they are out of that one. just my luck:re

ok, then I suppose I will have to construct one to look like that one.:whip

[Clancy]

Angel, if you are not in too much of a rush i will take mine and see if i can copy it for you....or trace it off over the next few days...

[Angel Outlaw]

OOOOOHHHHH Clancy YOU are the Angel:ty :ty :ty

I am not in a rush, take your time. Not sure what size but I always go by bust which should be: ok men close your eyes, no peeking or:kbutt (39).

Thanks sooooo much.

[Clancy]

Angel your welcome,im off to a shoot this weekend, i will get it started next week for you.

[Angel Outlaw]

:ty that sounds great thanks again.

[Black Hills Barb]

Angel,

I know I saw that pattern somewhere on my journeys. :bhd I frequent a couple of surplus outlets with fabric and craft departments. Sometimes I rummage through the discontinued patterns. I'll be darned if I can think of where I've seen it though. I know I won't be going to any of them this weekend or else I could save Clancy some time too.

Did you try typing discontinued patterns in your search engine and going from there?

Barb

[Angel Outlaw]

YES!!! we (my friend and I) checked everywhere we could think of and all the links we received here.

[Pretty Mean Shawme]

Okay, I have finally set up an account with Tombstone, so anyone who wants a pattern for the Annie Oakely jacket let me know your measurements, and I'll find out the sizes and the price!

[Lily Orleans]

Hey Angel!!!!

Looky what just turned up on Ebay!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8232933577&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1

[Pretty Mean Shawme]

The sizes for the Tombstone Jacket are true to "industry standards" however they say if you wear an 8 you should order a 10.

If anyone wants one let me know!

(if you don't get the one one on ebay)

[Clancy]

Let me know if you plan to bid on it, as i took some of the pattern to work and photcopied it...Maybe i should hold off until the auction is over..

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

Angel Outlaw is on her way home from Shootout at Givhan's Ferry, she should be back on the Alley tomorrow.

[Clancy]

Thanks Fannie,

I hope she gets it..

[Angel Outlaw]

I'M BAAACCCKKK:) I went and bid on the pattern, hold off on the copying Clancy, if I get it then you won't have to copy it, I really appreciate ya'll keeping an eye out for me. THANKS.

[Duzy Wales]

Congratulations Angel! So happy you won it! And a great price too!

:whip :sewing time to sew!

Good news for you too, Clancy, although it was mighty sweet of you to offer to copy it. :dc

Duzy :)

[Angel Outlaw]

YEP!!! I am excited! thank's Clancy for your efforts, I Really appreciate it, and who ever it was (I can't remember right now) for finding the pattern, good detective work:33

[Clancy]

Hey Angel that is great news, i didnt mind copying it for you... Nothing like having the real pattern. though Cant wait to see it made now....

[Angel Outlaw]

me either! I am thinking purple and grey, but that could change when I get to the fabric store.

Fannie had on a real cute jacket in SC out of a chocolate brown I liked.
