Charlie's Angels Jumpsuit Pictures

Here is my pattern, a 1972. I made the halter top and pants from black rayon challis. I made the pattern as is, even though it's one size up at a 34 bust, because it's meant to be roomy and loose.

Here's my finished product. I am pretty pleased with it; it's very comfortable and flowy and cool for the summer. If I made it again, I would shorten the waist to crotch length, it is a little too long.
From the side, so you can see how it is a wrap top. Most of my pattern adjustments eliminated all hand sewing. This pattern wanted a ridiculous amount of hand sewing, which I find very tedious. So everything is machine sewn, including the pants hem. I also made a giant buttonhole on the right hand side, for the tie to pass through. Genius!! It was bigger than my biggest template, so I made3/4 of my biggest, and then moved it around and made another3/4 to make an even bigger buttonhole.
From the back:
My zipper is very nice. Basting and following the rules has been working very well for me in the zipper department.
Just to prove it is pants, and to show my renewed love for cartwheels!!

Next up is a pencil skirt using my new pattern, which I cut out today, or my bigger version of the white shorts. We'll see!!

Next Project and THE BIRD

Here is my next project:

Simplicity 5355 (1972) looks like a jumpsuit, but is really a halter top and giant pants. I like the sleeveless version, but I really like how it looks in black. Since Hancock has rayon on half price, and it's my new favorite fabric, I bought some. I think it'll be pretty Charlie's Angels awesome. Plus, it'll be about ten bucks.
Here's some 99 cent patterns I picked up. The one on the left has a nice pencil skirt with a curved waistband. The one on the right has some potentially nice work pants, and I like the sheath dress with the tucks at the neckline. Both are McCalls. Thinking of my skanky-tight shorts incident, I looked at the sizing and I am definitely a 10 in McCalls, for future reference.
Plus, Saintpudalia (I would give you a blog link but her profile is secret) commented on my last bird picture and said it looked like a juvenile Yellow Crested Night Heron and I looked online and she is totally right!! The ones by my house are young, so they don't have the cool mask yet. We walked the dog at City Park tonight and I saw 2 adults. So, props to her!

PS- I did go to estate sales on Saturday, but there was nothing great. I got an atlas on World History and some baskets and books for my future, and long-anticipated, classroom. I think I used up my good luck on the Wedgwood and the 24 vintage patterns.... :)
