What do you do with those patterns you find that are not complete?</div>
<div align="center">
I don't have the heart to throw them out and so are beginning to stockpile in my sewing room.</div>
<div align="center">
I feel, with their age, being no longer in print and historical artwork, it would be shame to throw them out.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Sometimes it can be a matter of only instructions missing - I could search for the instructions. </div>
<div align="center">
Sometimes, it can be part of the pattern can be made eg: the blouse, not the skirt.</div>
<div align="center">
Im sure some people could make the garment due to their excellent seamstessing experience, just because one piece is missng.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I could make the envelope into some sort of display or artwork.</div>

It has been a while between patterns, I'm sorry and I have missed you. Time is the thing, never seem to have enough of it. </div>

I thought I'd celebrate summer and here in Australia, it has been record temperatures. Technically still summer here for another week. So enjoy some summer patter ideas, where ever you may be.</div>

If youre in the market for a reasonably priced, beautiful, unspoilt, tropical holiday, amongst people who are genuinely lovely and year round climate is warm, the the Cook Islands is the place to go.<br />
Forget overcrowded Hawaii, forget commecialised Fiji or over priced Tahiti. The Cook Islands has all the benefits of those places minus the negatives.<br />
<br />
I will be back there next year...<br />

This is an early pattern - pre decimal as the price is "3/6".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am unsure as to what the maker is - Is it "Fashion cut pattern" or is it "Dewhurts SYLKO" as printed on back (see below).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No printing on actual pattern pieces. It has punched holes to indicate usage & pieces.</div>

A modern-day witch likes her neighbor but despises his fiancee, so she enchants him to love her instead... only to fall in love with him for real.<br />
It inspired me to take a closer look at some patterns to conjour up some pattern magic, to match some of those bewitching fashions from the movie.<br />

This was my favorite fashion of the movie. A unique black dress with attached pull over - draped hood. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was at times difficult to make out detail of the dress but the above screen shot shows it best.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Long sleeve knit fabric, darted at waist, with front midline bust seam.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How sweet the small detail of the trim bow ribbon at hip height.</div>

Its classical 1960's fashion and filmaking. It covers a variety of genres; comedy, thriller, romance & mystery. However best of all it has Audrey ! What a beautiful, stylish, pettit lady she was. She could wear a potato sack and look clasically elegant.<br />

Both movies are not only intrigueing and fabulous cinematography, but the fashion is so iconic of the time. Grace has the ability to wear anything and look amazing. She even makes a swim at the beach look graceful and sophisticated...how is that achievable? She is a rare occurance !<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A - line dres with set in sleeve, back zipper and mandarin collar. Long Bell shaped sleeve. Optional back waistline darts.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I liked this "Mod" very 1960's dress. It brought back the era, with its bell sleeve and short hemline. I put in the optional back and front waistline darts to make it more figure shaping. This was made in a polyester - satin of which the patterning took a while to find, that looked "psychedelic". It calls for bias seam binding for the sleeve trim and I used white. I have never finished a sleeve this way, but I do like it for this particular style and look. Its the first time I have had to match the patterned fabric which was successful, at the back of the dress where the invisible zipper is inserted.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> With this pattern I made a very 60's glossy hat. I have not made a hat before and thought I'd give it a try and I'm pretty happy with it. Its a "sou' wester" style but with some glossy PVC it can look Mod. The hat was really easy to make and now I'll have to make myself some sun hats for this summer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'm sure many are still hidden in the wardrobe just waiting for the revival...if it may come. I just can't see where they were flattering. Sure is brave though !<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A more tailored leg here, in contrast to the bell bottoms. If you really want to Razz it up try the layered frill at ankle and collar (in pink). So much more romantically feminine.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">1967 Bill Blass - McCalls 8927</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I found this gem on Ebay. A gorgeous, stylish, very 60's front pleated designer dress. A sleeveless four section dress with inverted pleat on the left side. I really like the pleat being to one side and also a sash pocket concealed under pleat. So very modern, but it is really not in time scale. Neck detail has inerfaced bands in neck facing seam. Rear entry zip. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Its so crisp looking and I'm really into the front pleat thing at the moment. Not sure what fabric I will use : Crepe probably, but i like the idea of Linen, but practically I won't as it just crushes harshly, taking away from the perfect crisp look to it.</div>Ms Hepburnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03561366847045845265noreply@blogger.com0
