DPD, LOVE that bolero on the Vogue pattern. So cool!
LD, love that lot. The kitty cat pattern reminds me of the Busby Berkeley number, "Sitting on a Backyard Fence".
Ooh! That's cute! Love the fabric! I think I was eying one very similar not long ago with apples and pears on it.
I just finished a swimsuit from a 1960 pattern. There's more info here.
