A few women I work with at the restaurant sew, so that's fun! I so rarely meet people in real life that like to sew. Diana gave me these patterns, which were her mother's. She only has sons and didn't plan on using them so I got them. Yay! I especially like the scalloped dress with the wrap skirt.
Which one is your favorite?
I love that wrap dress! It almost reminds me of maternity patterns of that time. I hate putting zips in a shirt dress, I wonder if I could use that idea to make one. I bet it would be less noticeable too if it were a gathered skirt.
ReplyDeleteThat is fun to find someone who has the same hobby and a great bonus that she gave you some patterns!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of sewing, I got a present in the mail today and I will give you a call later to tell you all about it!
I like the Butterick 2137. I think the collar is great and I think if done in a dark wool fabric, it could be really elegant. Of course, here I am thinking of heavy fabrics in the heat of summer....
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift! I have that Simplicity one seam skirt pattern and it's one of my favourites. Just cut it to a more modern length and it's one of the quickest skirt patterns you could ever find!
ReplyDeleteThese patterns are delightful!! I love the scalloped dress as well. Which one are you thinking of making first?
