Vintage children’s patterns

Shepparton Savers rules in the vintage pattern department.  I bought quite a few (um, more than a few) patterns when I was there a few weeks ago – for 69 cents per pattern.  These are the children’s ones.  Even if I never make them up, I love the illustrations.  But I do plan on sewing at least some of them!

Girl’s skirts.  I reckon that this one will definitely be used in the future.

Girl’s dresses – Clare has put in an order already for the flutter-sleeved, collarless version in the front.  It’s on my list for summer sewing.

Jarmies and dressing gowns!  These are destined for Stella.  As are the next ones.  A great way to avoid branded pj’s.

The last one is for boys – but it’s going to be made soon for Clare.  After all, a dressing gown in this style is completely unisex!

I have some 80’s apricot fleecy in my stash that will be perfect for this.  Clare’s current dressing gown is way too small now.  Should be able to whip this pattern up on the overlocker in no time!
