I love how the original owner wrote her name on the pattern, and drew an arrow to the version that she sewed. Someone also wrote in very faint pencil vertically next to "This view": "no geathers will bring back" - a somewhat mystifying statement, I can only guess at what was meant. The handwriting is different from the writing in ink, so it may have been someone else.
The scrap: This floral cotton print is just a smidgeon of a scrap that was tucked inside this vintage pattern from the war years. But it is still enough to let us envision this frock in a summery print of blue flowers with pink and green bits. It paints a very pretty and sunny picture!
I LOVE this pattern, and it's even my size! The simple lines are so versatile. So many fun details could be added. Trim, embroidery, cool fabric, so many options!
ReplyDeleteIt IS a sweet dress - and you have such excellent taste, Emileigh. :) I can see you in it.
DeleteWhat a delightful simple pattern! I could just see a lovely, light summer dress made from it... sigh... :)
