I still like this pattern and I'm thinking that I might sew it up in a wind resistant, water repellent technical fabric to use for walking/hiking/biking pants. However, I'm still waiting for the right fabric in the right colour to present itself to me.
Come to think of it, this pattern junkie has several patterns waiting for the right fabric to magically appear. How many of you are still waiting for this magic to happen?

That's a good question! I was a bit tickled to notice the recently running vintage sewalong allowed any patterns pre-1995, by which definition yours would definitely qualify. Personally, I feel that 70s= vintage while 80s does not, but that may just be bias based on my own life experience (I was alive in the 80s but not the 70s). Part of me feels that vintage incorporates something of the "spirit of a bygone era", though, in which case we'd have to admit 80s patterns and maybe even some early 90s ones....
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, a good question ... I read something online about it lately, someone said to call "vintage" to something you have from six months ago, I laughed a lot.
