Patterns of the Past

I think a run down on all patterns used is in order. I did use some of the big 4 patterns, for time and money. And altered where I could. I know I cringe too at some of the big 4 models they use. Eugh!

Inspiration from these books. I don't know what I would do without them!





Simplicity 3758 - Altered, took a lot off the sleeves, they were huge!



McCalls 5414 - Altered


Simplicity 4092 - Altered from Janet Arnolds Patterns of Fashion

For the edwardian era, I found a shirt in an op shop and the skirt is the altered skirt from the Regency Gown Pattern. Simple yet effective I believe.
