Wrap dress from 60s

When I was a little girl, my mother made most of my clothes as well as my older sisters.
Sometimes she made us dress alike dresses and I remember Easter fancy dresses well.
The sleeveless wrap dress was one of my favorites and I have been searching for a similar
pattern for my granddaughters. I have found one that goes on over the head and then wraps, but, that is not the one I had as a child. I may have to design it myself from memory. I'll let you know how that goes.

Take care,

Diane

Costumes

Kids love dress-up anytime!
The granddaughters pulled out aprons from long ago and had such fun playing dress-up!
I am thinking what if they were to "find" a box of sorts, with all manner of dress-up apparel.
It is so much fun sewing costumes of various fabrics. I am thinking soft and flowing dresses and velvet capes, an assortment of hats, this could be interesting! Oh, and let's not forget the boys!
A racecar driver/mechanic or karate kid or chef, and the lists gets longer. I am going to have fun with this one!

Take care!
