More patterns listed

Have a few more patterns, some small sizes, some more recent Vogues in the 14-16-18 range. I am being very critical in the 80-90's patterns, things that are still attractive or mimic today's trends or are classics/basics.

Tomorrow being Friday, more free vintage patterns: Simplicity 5502, yr 1973, size 18, B40, W32, H42 - dress/jumper with lined and shaped yoke, back zipper, high round neckline.

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...
