One of those old titles that was never weeded! I probably would have used it if I was sewing in the 70s ;)Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-33491968488741397892020-04-15T12:30:04.270-04:002020-04-15T12:30:04.270-04:00This is delightful, if you want to check it out on...This is delightful, if you want to check it out online just click the link in the post. The patterns are all done via measurement so you could still use them via a digital copy if you read that way. Yes, the language is quite entertaining! Now you've got me curious to discover what these authors are up to these days.Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-90624503283797771992020-04-15T12:28:37.328-04:002020-04-15T12:28:37.328-04:00Right?

I'm sure this would have been quite popular when it was first published with all those readers.

I will have to ask my library acquisition sleuth to find me a copy when the library reopens. (This makes me so sad. It's the heart of my community.) Anywho, adding a hood to a caftan would probably be less frustrating than my search for the old 70s pattern that I regret recycling.<br />Some of the language is hilarious. Old lady,chick and the F bomb! (Written by women?) I wonder what they're up to now Google?<br />Thanks for the entertaining diversion.

It's hilarious how unappealing that cover is today, but back then it would have been my favorite book! It reminds me of Mother Earth News and The Vegetarian Epicure. Grooviness and common sense instruction in equal measure. Katrina Blanchallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300264690284771712noreply@blogger.com
