VINTAGE DRESS PATTERNS

Shall we take a short detour from Architecture & Urban Design?

Introducing the Vintage Dress Patterns.
Thanks to Christine for lending me her vintage sewing patterns. These prints are inspired by her store, Terra Cotta boutique, with a variety of accessories, some of which may be found in the shop, framing the pattern illustration. I like to consider the theme of the pattern cover and make categorical drawings, several varieties on a particular theme.

These images will become flat note cards, with the pattern covers hand-printed by xylene transfer. I may consider small prints. They will comprise a set of 8 and be companions to the Vintage Apron Patterns of last Fall, inspired by Back-in-the-Day Bakery.

Yes! I remember the 3 size tissue patterns- it was hard to cut out one size while leaving the other other two sizes intact for future use.
