I've been DVR-ing reruns from the early years of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and playing them back on fast speed, stopping every time Mary, Rhoda or Phyllis has a change of clothes. I don't know why, but I'm loving those mod looks right now.
Every once in a while, I troll around Etsy just looking at patterns from the late 60s/early 70s. When I find one I love, I pop it into my favorites. Sometimes I think about it too long - like I did with this groovy little number. Next time I checked it out? SOLD! Ugh.
I love this one, too. It's not sold yet, but it's kind of out of the price range I like to pay for a vintage pattern. However, I'm beginning to think I can't live without it. All the dresses I could make! Border prints! Cool 60s zipper pulls!
Then there's this one that sold right out from under my nose. As soon as it was gone, I started dreaming of all the cute buttons I'd use right down that scallop on the front of a sleeveless summer shift. Well, finally I broke down and bought it somewhere else online for too much money - afterall, I really don't think I could have gone on living much longer without it!
