I've been going through boxes of sewing stuff from my Mom's house, and in one of them I found this great pattern, Butterick 5139 from the mid 70's by designer Gil Aimbez: I had a ton of jumpsuit type patterns, and culotte type patterns, but this one was the only one to combine both of these great 70's fashion genres! Then as I went through another box, I found this: I must have been about 13 or 14 when I made it. Boy, was this a pain to put on. I don't remember wearing it, but then again, there are a lot of 70's fashion moments that I've chosen to forget! This is corduroy- another 70's love of mine. Look closely, and you can see the quilting detail on the bib part. If only I can find a photo of me with my Farah Fawcett hairstyle, this memory would be complete! Aw, I am so pining away for the good old days right now. Does anyone else remember this one? Happy Sewing! Ann
