Loved them but one day I looked in the mirror and decided that I wasn't built for culottes and just gave up on the whole idea. <br /><br />I used to shop like you do: first a scouting trip then home to think about the fabrics I looked at then back to the store to buy, but now I live in a rural area of the U.S. and it's an hour's drive to the nearest fabric store so I mostly shop online now, which I used to think I'd never do.Lynnhttp://www.lynnspace.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-22504239562174275602011-08-30T23:44:57.775+01:002011-08-30T23:44:57.775+01:00in 1978 i was ten and had several pairs of culotte...in 1978 i was ten and had several pairs of culottes with matching vests that my mom sewed for me:) thank you for the flash back! now im in the mood for reading a little nancy drew and suddenly broccoli cauliflower and cheese sauce sounds good for dinner:)heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180618217400520638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-61007905781356424882011-08-30T22:15:44.160+01:002011-08-30T22:15:44.160+01:00I LOVE culottes..and the 70'sand their heels! ...I LOVE culottes..and the 70'sand their heels!

My favourite pair is black-pinstripe with an extra wide leg bought in Forever 21 on a trip to the States. I have a 1949 McCalls culotte pattern waiting for the right fabric to come along!<br /><br />Your modus operandi is the same as mine, I always scout first with pen and paper then nip back round at the end to pick up the fabrics I really want or where they were cheapest (especially somewhere like Goldhawk Road where the price for the same fabric can vary by pounds between shops). Always feels like I've snagged a bargain then and not just come home with another 20 meters of fabric to add to an already heaving stash!Social Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930089762630968441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-22519610698817585512011-08-27T06:54:18.498+01:002011-08-27T06:54:18.498+01:00I am loving those culottes!

I still have the skirt and my daughter used it for a 70s project last year in school. I used the pattern again later for a short skirt but never made the culottes and now my pattern is long gone. I would love to have a chance at that pattern and would certainly make the culottes this time!Cathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754571992726282988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-80722803352156657482011-08-25T09:56:14.364+01:002011-08-25T09:56:14.364+01:00Oh, my gosh - I´m in!

I too found some cashmere myself on line at a price bargain and bought a huge section of it in periwinkle blue. I still haven't done anything with it and was thinking of using it for a quilt backing but now that I'm into sewing again who knows!!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15210269243259892285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-30073356534248303942011-08-24T16:37:31.767+01:002011-08-24T16:37:31.767+01:00Love your version of what I call a split skirt.

Don't have one right now, but I'm pulling my patterns for a new one, after seeing your lovely garment! Lots of 1970s clothing was beautiful: cuts that flattered many body types, varied skirt lengths, interesting prints. But: Leisure suits. Body suits. Slimy polyester.

They work perfectly with your boots! My favorite photos are the hair flip photos - I think these should become a normal thing. "Debi flips her hair in the countryside."
