Misses' and Women's Accessory Set.
The blouse has a high round neckline and cap sleeves. There are no side seams but the front is drawn back and fastened with tape and the back is brought forward to lap over the front. Tie ends attached to the back fasten in a front bow. In Style II, the scarf is cut in five contrasting sections. It is knotted at the center and each end is brought forward and inserted through the knot. Style III, made of two scarves or handkerchiefs may be tied or drawn through a plastic ring. The belt has two sections and is trimmed with embroidery for which a transfer is included.
Notions --
MATCHING THREAD-- 50 yds. for blouse; 50 yds. for scarf; 50 yds. for belt. BUTTONHOLE TWIST. BUTTON-- 1 button (1/4" diam.) EMBROIDERY THREAD. BUCKLES-- 2 prong-type for belt. PLASTIC RING-- Style III--(Optional). TWO HANDKERCHIEFS-- Style III--(Optional). TRIANGULAR SHOULDER PADS-- (Optional).
This came together pretty easy using some vintage fabric I scored at a garage sale or off craig's list, I can't remember which. The only bummer was slicing the sleeve while I was trimming the seam! At least it's in the back and the pattern is so busy you don't notice.
I used a linen/rayon blend to make up this skirt. One of the easier patterns I've used - a quick and simple project!

Simplicity. San Jose, California. December 28, 2011. © Copyright 2011 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A small appliance store front window with many colorful signs, San Jose, California.
This is another in the "walked out my front door and made photographs" series, being a store front that is within a half mile or so of my home. I'm a bit of a fan of photographing the fronts of these small businesses that appear to be anything but chain operations. Each one is its own unique universe and, I assume, reflects the owner's personality in many ways including the cumulative effect of focusing on one small area of the world for many decades. I often wonder what it must be like to live in a world of vacuum cleaners for more than five decades - and I don't mean to imply anything by that question beyond a serious interest in how our primary interests end up influencing how we experience and see the world.
The visual quality of these places also interests me. I can initially simply be overwhelmed by the details that must have accumulated over time - the many brightly colored signs, a few things hung on walls, displays of specialized equipment and materials with brand names I barely recognize. Yet there is a very carefully created order in all of this. It is fun - for me at least! - to spend some time looking at these scenes and starting to pick out the small details that I might not initially notice. (Of course, that is easier with a big print than it is with this little jpg!)
