Adventures in Vintage Resales... fka adventures in baby-sewing

It was spent at my parents home and here. Fried chicken for lunch. I am tired after a week of bible schools and work. I have so much housework to do and don't even know where to start. We have A/C so that's not a problem, but it is 92 outside and it wore me out earlier today in the car, sun in the face. Do any of you revisit 80's patterns? Some of you think they are anathema, but the 80's were my teen and early 20's, so I love the time. I am not in love with MC Hammer pants, but loved Cavarricci's, regular harem pants, cap sleeved blouses with some shoulder pads, etc. The 80's were the previous decades revisited, with excessive treatment sometimes. I see 20's (dropped waist), 40's (cap sleeves), 50's (fluffy petticoat skirts), western wear (ruffled skirts and western tops with conch belts). I am thinking of a cap sleeved top now with batwing sleeves. A fascination of mine, I guess. What 80's patterns have you looked at recently an...

The a/c guy has the part, he's in another town on a repair and will hopefully be here soon, it's 5:48 right now and 91 deg in my house, so keep the fingers crossed... I am biting on the tag question from Katie www.katiekadiddlehopper.blogspot.com 1. Which pattern/vintage style have you been thinking the most about lately? Vintage 40's blouses, but I am too hot to sew right now :) 2. What's the one place that you want to visit that you've never been before? Europe, such as Italy, England, Ireland, Scotland, Spain, any and all... 3. How do you relax? Sew, read, crochet, watch NCIS or In Plain Sight, Deadliest Catch or History Channel 4. What is your favorite holiday? I don't know, all are good. 5. What is one sewing skill you want to learn/try out? Making a jacket, coat, but I cannot get enough time. 6. Can you knit? crochet? other crafting talents? Crochet, cross stitch, decorate cakes 7. What garment/accessory do you wear the most? My TNT tops and my wrap dress ...

No a/c again, this time it's the outside unit fan motor, should be fixed tomorrow. However, the heat index was past 100 degrees today and the house is almost 90 degrees. I am so hot... Not much sewing, working all this week contract labor in a friend's office, so hopefully I will get some done this weekend with the air on...

Little one got a pillowcase dress, bloomers and bow with Sponge Bob fabric, she's happy. When she saw it, she started pulling her clothes off to put the dress on. She's happy, I'm happy.
