I love living the fantasy of early Hollywood starlet when I visit the Los Angeles area. When I got a chance to collaborate with Simplicity Patterns to model the actual sample garment for Pattern 8247, I jumped at the chance. They have released a stunning array of their vintage pattern collections, and I encourage all you fellow home sewing fanatics to check them out! Stockings by Secrets In Lace, shoes by BAIT Footwear.
