Friday Pattern Giveaway!


A different twist today, a men's shirt! Sized chest 46, neck 17, sleeve length 35, waist 42, 4 variations, recommended for knits (cotton knits, double knits), but also makeable with cottons (broadcloth, oxford, flannel, madras, chambray, gingham or even voile and batiste). Think of this as an adventure for your loved one. This envelope came to me sealed in a plastic bag like a vacuum sealed bag, and has never been opened by me, but the original flap seal on the pattern is open. The pattern feels like it has been kept intact, very uniform in feeling it through the envelope, maybe its still factory folded.

How do you picture it? Leave me a comment and link on your blog, for an entry, to be drawn by Monday morning.

Ooh, it's close enough to hubby's size that it'd be an easy fit. I'd love to do the double pocket version in a cowboy print. Small print, though - hubby's not very adventurous.

I gave you some link love on my blog sidebar. http://katiekadiddlehopper.blogspot.com

I just finished my first vintage mens shirt pattern and am now in the search for more. I love it. I'd have to grade it down for my boy but I do that all the time anyway.

Funny... I HAVE this pattern! So don't give it to me. ;-)

The image caught my eye from another blog, and I just had to pop over here and check it out.

I guess that just shows that I'm a bit "vintage" myself. lol

Is it oppressive?

Not much sewing going on here, but I have been cruising the internet more than usual and was not feeling well today. I came across a post on a blog today (Gertie) about whether vintage clothes are oppressive, going backwards. I do not think this at all, I think it is individuality, flattering and enhancing the feminine look, wishing for simpler life and times, and probably other ideas out there. I also believe men and women are different, but capable of being equals in various ways, but there are things that are inherently male and female. Different but equal. And have no problem with dressing up the physical to be attractive. Not to the extreme, but to look neat, appropriately dressed, made-up. I am not a feminist in the traditional sense, I am a stay at home mom with kids. I believe the differences are good. Now, I do believe in equal pay for equal work, but does that mean I want to do the heavy industrial physical work? No, but I know some women will and can. If they are c...

Post a comment and I will draw this weekend. And to last weeks', now I have your info & they will go out tomorrow. At this rate, I may thin my stash quicker than I thought. Once my kids go back to school, I may go through the fabric stash and make little scrap bags for quilting scraps for giveaways. On the home sewing front, I was able to get one top put together for daughter and the second is also sewn together. Both need bias tape finishing (handwork) which can be done in the evening in front of the TV. Maybe tomorrow I will get the remaining pants cut out, bringing her total to a possible 5 pairs of capri/shorts for school...
