Rocking the 80's

Ah, the 80's. Big hair, long legs, and Urban Cowboy. OK, so I didn't, er don't, have long legs but I had the hair. Got the kind of thick hair that loved the eighties look. And while everyone else was listening to the big hair bands like Poison, I was two stepping in my gorgeous boots to Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. So, imagine how I felt when my daughter, the fashionista, told me the 80's look is big this spring (you know, the fashionista. Always well dressed, always in fashion. Always...not me. How I birthed this Vogue fashion plate I have no idea). Yippee, the eighties is back! I can quit trying to make my hair straight!!! Don't know if I want to try my leather pants again, though. Anyway.......
Here's a few patterns from the 80's to sew.

Yes, we really did wear padded shoulders, er, extended shoulders. Made our hips look smaller. I could use that now, with my curly hair. No mullet, though.
