Love that red and green dress and the blouses! I plan on sewing some summer tops and maybe a couple of dresses this year. Yeah, right... Love T
i have yet to set up my sewing maching and other sewing 'stuff' since moving. i have to do it one of these days....
Love 'em! I'm trying to decide if the teen-age me would have included the butt-patch on that jumper. It's fun, but I probably wouldn't have dared. :-D
Fashion, or lack thereof, was so much fun in the 70’s. Color, clashing patterns, & patches. My granny (hip granny) helped me crochet a pink Bugs Bunny patch and sew it to the seat of my burgundy flares. (I was a grown working man by then too. Blush!) I remember a girl admiring, “You’re the sharpest dresser.” Yeah, right! :oD My hair was much like Tina’s in the opening pic on the GC Girls blog, except not so Annette Funicello-ish—more Viking godlike (Yeah, right!). Chuckle! What a hoot.
Fun memories Heidi. Thanks.
And if anybody asks, East Williston is in New York, on Long Island.
