My Mum has been sewing for me for years, she's been sewing since she was 12, I believe (that'll be 48 years in September!), and have recently got into sewing myself.<br />I am commenting on this post in hopes of getting a question answered. Your post from February 23, 2010 (http://www.blogforbettersewing.com/2010/02/suspender-skirts-of-yore-snappy.html), has a Simplicity pattern underneath the Seventies header. Do you think you'd be able to share the pattern number? Chances are very good we have the pattern lying around, but we'd have to go through about 12 boxes filled with hundreds of patterns! This would help enormously!<br />I can't wait to read more of your blog!Janeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12637954018947357556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-73804157287331592252012-04-15T12:36:01.766-04:002012-04-15T12:36:01.766-04:00I've been thinking about a black eyelet sundre...I've been thinking about a black eyelet sundress with a full skirt lately; I mentioned this to a friend and she made a goth crack.
