I am so excited about the pattern that I am posting today. So excited until I can't wait for it to be modeled. I kind of thought that I would post those pics a little later.
Now, on to this crazy Kool pattern. I acquired this pattern a while back and I thought it would be nice to share a vintage pattern or at least a remake of a vintage pattern. Every now and then I will be posting a vintage piece just to show that vintage garments are not just old clothes. I like to think of some vintage pieces as a connection to my past and things that are and were important at some point in time, to me.
After I had finished my New Look 6224/0910 dress. I was looking through my pattern stash and ran across a pattern that kind of stood out and said something to me. I don't know why, but I could see this pattern on either my oldest daughter or my sister. I knew I wasn't going to make it for me, but I wanted to see it on someone else..LOL. So, this is what I came up with for my baby sister.

| I liked the idea of a jumpsuit, but I really didn't want the connection of the pants with the top. So I just used the top. |

The top is a desert sand colored peachskin fabric with a 100% polyester floral animal print, onion skin fabric overlay.   
The skirt is a double layered handkerchief style with a rolled hem. It is made of the same peachskin polyester that the top is lined with.
This was an interesting project for me. I almost put a regular gathered skirt on it, but I wanted something with a little more pizazz (like my sister), so I opted to cut the skirt at an angle instead of rectangles. I hope she likes it because I do and she has very discriminate taste.
Thank you for stopping by, until next time LOLPOH, Dellia |
