Some of it I keep, most of it I pass on. This lot included bits and pieces of fabrics and crafting books. There was some more curtain panels for me to make into produce bags. I got a kick out of this book - it has the rules of pattern-cutting. Well, I'm not much one for rules on such things, but I am enjoying the pictures of the clothing.
This one went in the get rid of box but then I pulled it back out to have a closer look.
Well, it has Barbie patterns, and you never know when you might get the urge to make Barbie clothes.
Or, say...a kaftan. :-)
Actually this way my favourite thing in this lot of goodies. And this, unlike the kaftan above, I will actually wear. It just needs a zipper put it. I think it must have been one that my mom made in the late 60s/early 70s??? I love the fabric and the colours.Or, say...a kaftan. :-)

Funny how all these things are interesting to us now that we're grown ups. I love seeing this kind of stuff from the past, Heather. Now, I expect to see you wearing that dress this summer!
Love that dress!
But what's wrong with the kaftan? It looks perfect for girls movie nights. Isn't she even holding a glass of wine while about to look out the window for her friends to arrive?
I LOVE the dress! Very summery!!
I like watching the Brady Bunch series just to see the clothes they wore and the home decor... Mrs. Brady was one stylish stay-at-home Mom :)

What a beautiful dress! I love the colours.
Hi Heather, thanks for posting your insulated jug yogurt making method. I tried it and it worked pretty well, except I made the mistake of stirring the yogurt midway through and it never set up any firmer than it was at that point. But the jug/mason jar method kept it warm and I already had everything I needed, love that! Can't wait to try the next batch.
Oh no...no stirring. :-) Actually I always set it towards the back of the counter and make sure that we don't jostle it, I somehow recall reading that is should not be disturbed. I bet your next batch will turn out great.
I really like all of these finds, I love to reminisce back to the 1970s, the styles of the mini dresses are great. I don't think kaftans were the most flattering of creations though? x
Hey, I would love to have the pattern drafting book if you decide to get rid of it.

Hi Joyce, I gave that book to a friend shortly after writing about it. It found a good home with a wonderful seamstress. ;-)
