Maker: Simplicity
Number: 8807
Size: 12
Who: Children, Girls
Date on Envelope: 1978
Condition: Uncut (Please see the pictures for envelope detail. I never claim the pattern to be perfect or mint. They've all got character, one way or another.) ***This pattern is complete, but some of the pieces were separated from the original pages. They aren't cut to the lines, but they're separated. And the whole thing appears to have been wadded up for who knows how many years. When I checked for completeness, I tried to refold, but I'm far from perfect. Basically, enjoy a lower price because I know you'll need to give it a good ironing before using it. I'd iron it now, but then I'd fold it to get it in the envelope, thus defeating the purpose since it's in the envelope now in as few folds as possible, although wrinkled.

Sometimes it's far more fun to sew something from another time.

Sometimes it's even more fun to update it or make it a little differently to suit your taste.

And sometimes the only thing you can do with that totally awesome vintage yardage you have is build an equally awesome vintage garment. But the only way to make it look "right" is to use a pattern it was meant to be used with back in the day.

In any case, I hope you have "just the right fabric" to use with this pattern.

Always contact me if you have questions. I love to talk sewing and patterns and vintage...and a bunch of other stuff, too!

I love to sew clothes from another time. Vintage sewing patterns feed my addiction while entertaining me with all the possibilities for each garment.

My pattern prices are low to encourage everyone to create beautiful things.
