Some Vintage Fun!

I got to raid my grandmother's stash. Here are some goodies I picked up:

The oldest is from 1966. I can't find a date on the newest one (I'm thinking it's that Butterick on the top row of the bottom picture) but it's probably late 70s, early 80s. The are all size 12 or a combo including size 12, so they will all fit me!!! (For my non-sewing friends--pattern sizes are much different than Ready-to-Wear. )

I picked all of them for 1 of 2 reasons:

1. They have excellent construction and fitting instructions. Or

2. They are back in style (or I can make slight changes so that they are). What's up with that?

My first vintage pattern...

I am so excited! A "enabling" friend passed me a bag of fabrics and patterns. Two of the patterns were from 1970--and this is my favorite!

Is 37 years "vintage"? I'm calling it that.

So, how can I wear it now? I'm still working on that!
