Friday Free Patterns


Two Half-Size Slenderettes patterns up for grabs, both size 14 1/2, which equates to B35, W29, H39 and designed for a woman with a fuller figure with a height of approx. 5'3" and under. I would bet these are maybe late 50's or early '60's, no date given. I am petite and love half-sizes, but these are 4" under my bust size, and am too lazy to size them up since I have many others closer to my size to work up over the next couple of years. Plus raglan sleeves are not attractive on me nor are button fronts, esp. all the way up. So leave a comment on how you envision these, it is one random drawing to be held Sunday night. Also link back on your blog and include a way to contact you (blog or email).

Well, I love those button-front dresses and peter pan collars! I envision them as fun spring or summer dresses, either in a bright solid or perhaps a large, abstract floral print. I've recently made a similar dress and I really enjoy it.

I love them, but with my 5'6' heigth and #$@%#$ size bust they won't work for me.

I am such a sucker for a lovely frock. Count me in. Even though I'll have to grade up in the circumference department, that shoulder to bust measurement sounds perfect!

OOh, those measurements would work for me!! AND I see summer dresses that would look great for the day and then add the right jewelry, shoes, scarf, and off I go to have drinks after work. :)

I love them. While I'm taller, and fatter, I can see these in a summery print in hot pink and orange I got. I just think they're great all around.

I, too see it as summer dresses in solid or print colors and would like to be included in the draw.

Thanks for the opportunity.

September 11

On the anniversary of this date, recalling the last 7 years... 2001 - watched on TV, saw the 2nd tower fall on the news while holding my oldest daughter (we were in Houston then) 2002 - pregnant for the first time, not knowing we would lose him prematurely in 5 days 2003 - sitting in a hospital, trying not to have Andrew prematurely, watching the broadcasts; he was born the next day 2 months early 2004 - pregnant with Philip 2005 - living in a new town with all of these babies & DH 2006 - just found out I was expecting and miscarried a few weeks later 2007 - pregnant with Hayley today - watching a hurricane's status and reading the 9/11 recollections My mother thinks hurricane Carla, which was 1961, passed through the same area (freeport area) on/about Sept 11. She can't remember the exact date. September is not my favorite month, but we should not forget 9/11.
