Patterns to Swoon Over

Every time I tell the hubby I am not buying any more patterns I make a liar of myself. A pure, shame-faced liar….but then, I am not totally to blame. These patterns are swoon-worthy, just not the leave-them-at-the-store patterns.

McCall's 5009 from 1965

Love the turban. After watching all those old, ahem, classic movies when I was a kid I always thought turbans were so exotic and classy….especially on someone like Hedy Lamar. She was so glamorous.

Simplicity 6215 from 1974…in size 18, bust 40 inches

This cutie patootie is a "How to Sew" pattern. Love the sleeves. The a-line form is perfect to distract (that's a good word) from the full hips that often go along with the 40 inch bust. At least they do in my case. Even in a smaller size it's a little easier to move in that a pencil skirt….

Both of these swoon-worthy patterns are in the GoofingOff Etsy shop…..

Well, gotta go….had to share...
