only four pieces seems like a bad deal when it’s a box of See’s, but when it’s a pattern, it seems pretty nice … (especially to me because I’m still wrestling with simplicity 2180, and by “wrestling” I mean “sobbing over with a seam ripper that is radiant red from friction”).
Like with this great pattern from Michelle at OldPatterns.com (which, by the way, has had a major update, including a shopping cart! Woot!)
Yep, this pattern supposedly only has four pieces: two bodice, and two skirt. I’m lured to buy it just to open it up and marvel. Anyway, it’s only $15 and it’s B36, here.
I like how in this picture you have miss Burnt Orange, and miss Purple, and then if you squint a bit bit, you can see that miss Print’s print is burnt orange and purple. Which is not a combo I’ve tried, but by golly, I think it works. (Miss Burnt Orange and miss Purple are both “why didn’t I think of that?”)
Coming up soon: more book reviews, a new shirtdress, and a simplicity 1577 with *matched plaids*. Oh yeah.
