Costume Patterns are at GoofingOff Sewing

McCall's 7218 Yaya Han's Original Peacock Costume

Make believe....for me make believe conjures up images of capes and masks, swords were really sticks, bicycles magically became horses. My crinolined dress made me a ballerina if I twirled fast enough. A costume took make believe to a whole new level...I really was a princess or a fairy when I wore the costume. It was magic.

So the groundhog saw his shadow? How many more weeks of winter? Got snow? Brrrr...Time to sew!
When I was stuck in the house because the roads were icy and it was nasty outside I would put a big pot of soup on the stove and go to the sewing machine. #myfavoriteday

50’s Redingote and Dress, Looney Tunes, and Pinafores, Featured Patterns

            

Redingote (def.) a woman's light dress or coat of the 18th century, with an open-fronted skirt, revealing a decorative underskirt. So I guess in the 1950’s this was a designer’s take on the riding coat of the 18th century, just closed at the top to show off the dress underneath. Gorgeous dress.

Stuffed Looney Tunes Characters, Bugs Bunny, Sylvestor, and Tweety Bird.

Adorable dress with puffed sleeves, elasticized cuffs, and pinafore. In size 4.

Full Skirts, Kick Pleats and Kimono Sleeves, Loving the 50’s
