Fashion Friday and a Giveaway


Does anyone remember the Infinite Dress?  McCall's circa 1976
Who does the model remind you of?

About Fashion Friday:  I use old sewing patterns as packaging for my mail order shipments.  I purchased 500 patterns from a quilter friend's estate sales a few years ago.  My friends and I had so much fun looking through the boxes I decided to add Fashion Friday as a regular blog feature. I hope you enjoy these posts.

There are many new visitors this week.  Hello, and thanks for stopping by!  If you haven't entered my Dye Candy Fabric giveaway please take time to visit my last post and leave a comment.  For every 100 comments received I will add another winner to the drawing.  I wish you all luck in the giveaway.  Warm Regards from Sunny Wisconsin where Autumn is in the air!  Chris

I have enjoyed seeing the old patterns since I was a seamstress in my life before quilting! I wondered where you had gotten such a wide variety of patterns.

I remember this dress! I also remember when patterns cost $2.00 -- did you know that they can cost as much as $15.00 now?? I was shocked when I found out. These patterns were bargains -- too bad they're not in style as much today, isn't it?!
