Enjoying the Style of Vintage Pedal Pushers or Capris
We had a touch of spring this past weekend, with temperatures reaching the upper 60s on Sunday. Which made many pull out their sunnier clothing. Which put me in mind of capris, otherwise called pedal pushers in the 1940s and 1950s, which provide cute details that you don't see in the store-bought variety. I love the ones that add special treatments to the hemline outseams for that extra touch of spark and fun:

I am so glad that you love my blog, Ivy! And what is the name of your Etsy shop, Ivy? I am happy to add a link to the pattern in your shop - the more access to patterns the more people sew these great vintage styles. :) I have some of the these patterns in my shop and the rest are ones that I have sold.
