Then last month, Leah at Struggle Sews a Straight Seam had a huge giveaway of 14 patterns of mixed decades and sizes, and I won that one too!
So I thought I'd post these mostly one a day while I'm gone, as kind of a place holder so you guys don't forget me! I could have Hubby guest post for me, but he doesn't really know much about knitting or spinning or sewing . . . all you'd get from him would be guitars. This will be more fun!
For today I'll show all three patterns I got from my second win from Andrea, and then starting tomorrow I'll start showing what I got from Leah.

I was so surprised by how modern this one looks. I have a pair of boots very like the ones the lady on the right is wearing, and I would totally wear the long version of this cape.
Ah - this is so lovely! A tiny bit too small for me though, so I'm hoping to get up the guts to try my hand at grading it up someday. I love the notched neckline.

This one is so interesting. This is the oldest pattern I own, and while the pieces are beige tissue, they have no markings and are already cut to the shapes of the pattern pieces! Fascinating! I really love this dress.
These are so pretty! What a great score! Have a great time with your mom and aunt!!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that so many of these old patterns have survived. Hope you're having a great trip!
