Victory Patterns
Have you heard of Victory Patterns? I think it is a relatively new pattern company based in Canada. Most of the styles seem to be trending to a younger target market (than moi, for example) but there are a few that I really love.
I actually have a vintage pattern from the mid-70s that is a ringer for this skirt. I should dig it out this weekend and see what kind of shape it's in!
There are a few other styles on the website, but these are my favorites, especially the top versions of both dress patterns (and I appreciate patterns that show multiple uses in one envelope!) I probably won't be purchasing these two patterns because they remind me so much of something I already own.
The Anouk pattern is very similar to a Built by Wendy Simplicity dress/top pattern from a few seasons ago. And the Ava reminds me of Colette Macaron. I already own both of those patterns, so I probably won't be purchasing from Victory Patterns just yet. But I'll keep them on my radar!
Sewing plans are up in the air for the weekend...more Sorbetto's or another Hazel?? Something new? I sort of hate to break the streak!
ps...did you see the Avengers yet?? It. Was. AWESOME. I might have a little tiny crush on...
Shhh. Don't tell my other superhero boyfriends.

Free Vtg Pattern: Dickey & Peter Pan Collar
I scanned this cute dickey pattern and article from a 1940s sewing booklet and thought I'd share!
I can't honestly say that I've had a lot of opportunities in my life to wear a dickey, but I do like a peter pan collar. (there's also a plain collar pattern too)

Friday's comin'. Whew.
