Now, sentimentality is not too strong on my end, but I found that yesterday’s ramblings about patterns made me think of my files. I have three boxes of sewing patterns. Some of the patterns aren’t even mine, they were just rescued from a certain fate because I liked them: A-line dresses, jumpsuits, bell-bottomed pants (mine), fringe jackets, caftans, pajamas. It was like a little fashion history lesson rummaging through there.
Then I found these “within-the-last-20-years” numbers. Apologies to my daughter.
Yes, I made the blue coat with the pink floral buttons. Apparently that chapeaux design was not adequate though, as I had to buy a hat pattern to make the cute little business on the right. I’m certain she wore the hat at least once?
Thankfully, this was all before she could argue about her clothing options – or should I say – “costume” choices?
