Here's a little film you might find interest - although it's Simplicity from the late 1940's, not McCall's. It's 18min. of eye-opening for us today. I was alternately annoyed & amused with the characters & the approach. The rally interesting part for me was they showed a pattern envelope & then several dress made from it - actually real dresses for our old vintage patterns--& there is a fashion show at the end (probably the only reason to grit your teeth to finish watching). I hope you find it entertaining at least!Kathleen Soaresnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-84490146370247963452013-01-11T20:25:08.121+00:002013-01-11T20:25:08.121+00:00Wow, there is a lot to this!

I just found your blog, so I don't know if you've already made some. I'm watching for patterns for you.Elisabeth Rosenoreply@blogger.com
