I wore it to death, along with a similar long skirt and boots. Oh, and glasses with giant lenses (not quite as giant as my permed hair) ;)<br />Thanks for the look back, there's some great pieces in there to revive and be current.<br /> I enjoy looking through other's pattern stashes as well as my own!Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07910063660203983957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-41271493422766766692015-04-03T19:04:09.241-04:002015-04-03T19:04:09.241-04:00Ah, Willi Smith--I loved him so much.

These are some great patterns! This post made me think of how wonderful it would be to have every pattern that my mother and I purchased in my stash! Instead, I find myself repurchasing past patterns. Looking forward to your next finished item.Sewingfunthingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092262145485030184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-58560000171395319962015-03-26T13:34:19.950-04:002015-03-26T13:34:19.950-04:00Kay, the top of the Perry Ellis pattern would make...Kay, the top of the Perry Ellis pattern would make such a nice outfit with a pair of linen pants or a pencil skirt.

The blouse got tremendous wear. did that all look good on my five foot frame? Not sure and I didn't care. I thought it had a sophisticated vibe but in truth I think there was some strange connection to my many years of Catholic school uniforms. Thanks for the memories, Kay. <br /><br />I had a closet full of those big shouldered jackets. Dressing professionally was imperative in my career of interior design and meeting with clients. I loved how I had the opportunity to sew all those wonderful garments for work. Now, its casual Friday every day. I miss the being "dressed" part.
