When you started showing off your haul, I suspected it was you. I bought a different one... Vogue Anne Klein. Enjoy yours... can't wait to see the red and white!<br /><br />Anyway, I was born a decade before you, and find myself drawn to the 60s and the early 70s, and a bit of the late 50s.

I started sewing most of my clothes in about 1967 (I was in 7th grade) and I did not have this pattern, but simillar ones. I had a longer, hooded cape that I made and wore throughout high school. I loved it so much that I made another in college and wore it for years as well. I have lately had the urge to revisit the cape. It is such a fun garment. Thanks for sharing the patterns.VictoriaRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-86240976382068093422012-02-02T10:02:57.282-05:002012-02-02T10:02:57.282-05:00I'm pretty sure I have that slip pattern. For ...I'm pretty sure I have that slip pattern. For a while, a couple of years ago, I was on a search for just that type of design, and I know I collected several vintage patterns. I still haven't made the slip, though!<br /><br />The 1970s is very much inspiring my current style. Especially the late 70s, right before giant shoulder pads took over the fashion world. I was in my late teens then, and just starting to feel like I was finding my true self. I think that's why, as I've started to work on defining my current style, I'm most drawn to fashions inspired by that decade. They feel very "me".<br /><br />(By the way, I used to have a pajama pattern where the lady in the illustration on the envelope was so obviously modeled after Mary Tyler Moore, I called it my "Laure Petrie" pattern.) :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-5993580635735300882012-02-02T09:46:47.552-05:002012-02-02T09:46:47.552-05:00I personally like the top one.

You're not allowed to blame loving the 70s on being born in 1970, by that logic I'll be stuck with the 80s and then I'd just have to kill myself. I didn't even like 80s fashion when I was a kid in the 80s. Of course, I didn't like 70s at that point, either, but I came around once the memories of orange shag carpet and dark fake-wood paneling had faded a bit...<br /><br />Erm, which is a long way of saying, yes, 70s, I dig them. :)Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.com
