I finally opened one of the vintage patterns I bought several months ago at an estate sale. Most of the pieces were cut, but still in fairly decent condition. I was tickled to see notes beautifully written in cursive....and in French! Are you kidding me?! This seamstress in LA who had tons of patterns was a French lady? I don't know why, but I loved these patterns even more. And then I quickly looked up the translation for some words because unfortunately my high school French classes did not teach me sewing vocabulary.
Made in size 4T using the ModKid Frida Tunic sewing pattern. I used various pink/purple Spiderman fabrics combined with some polka dots.
I reviewed this sewing pattern on my blog!
