| I love the clean lines of this pattern and the curved panel on the front would look amazing in a contrasting fabric! |
 |
| Long and short sleeved mini dresses - |
 |
| I seem to have a "thing" for waistcoats at present and notice that the pattern on the right gives the appearance of a waistcoat. Just realised this is a very very long caption! |
 |
| Love the collars on these! |
 | ||
| I confess I bought some of these patterns just because I like the pictures, not because I am going to use them! I love the orange and browns of 7795, but I know the shape (or lack of) would be a problem for me, so I won't be using this pattern. |
 |
| This dates from the late 1960s - I have a later edition from the 1970s as well. |
 |
| Dark orange skirt with metal belt and coin attached. |
 |
| More orange and more metal jewellry |
 |
| two very different designs |
 |
| These designs are so different - the one on the left has a clearly defined waist, structured bodice and long sleeves. The one on the right is almost shapeless. But the fabric, oh the fabric.... |
 |
| Love the detail of the contrast collar and bow on the left, and buttons and bodice on the right. Plus the concealed pockets! |
 |
| Scallops and trims |
 |
| Another example of orange and brown colouring. The smooth lines of the scallops really contrasts with the ruffled front on the blouse! |
 |
| Variations in patterns - big bright bold and very eyecatching |
 |
| An unsed pattern for stretch fabric. Raglan sleeves look good on me as I have large shoulders. I have learnt that kimono sleeves do not flatter me at all. |
 |
| This vision of yellow loveliness really grabbed my attention. |
 |
| Dear H who is cricket mad would love a sweater like this. |
 |
| Dear D would probably scream and run a mile if I suggested I made this for her. She likes skinny black jeans and tee shirts. |
I love the "Go Gay with Stripes" sweater/hat combo. Very cute. Good finds!
