We searched the internet for just the right pattern and when we found this one, with only a few clicks, we purchased it. Straight from 1963 and just look at that original 65 cent price tag!
When it arrived, 8 days later, we had quite a giggle at that triangular scarf. Even so, that's next on my list to whip up! {toothy grin}
First up we made a pair of hi-wasited, side-zip shorts. And she loves them. She put them on as soon as I finished the last stitch in the hem. And she looked darling in them.
After the shorts we were off and running, putting together a shorter version of the skirt.
I couldn't help but sing along with Nancy Sinatra:
"These boots are made for walkin' and that's just what they'll do..." just because. Just because I was having flashbacks to 1963 when my sister and I had our very own go-go boots and sang a rousing rendition and danced around the house. And somewhere in there I landed on Sonny and Cher's
"I got you baaaaabbeeee. I got you babe."
I'm only speculating but I think this week I'll sew up another pair of shorts and dart around the house singing and waiting for her to walk in the door from school and marvel: "Mom! These are so cool they are better than I even imagined." And
that is the real music to my ears.
