Colette Patterns
Arn’t they pretty?
I had no idea that the Colette patterns came so well packaged. Firm cardboard packet, lovely printed instructions and tissue printed patterns.
I bought mine from Modern Retro Textiles, the price included postage within Australia which was great.
I really want to get Parfait and Rooibos too, but one project at a time I guess.
Sencha is really useful, it could pass as a 40s or 50s top quite easily. I mean, look at Butterick 7952* below, doesnt it look like the Sencha in the middle with a peter pan collar?
*Butterick 7952 was the first vintage pattern I ever bought, about 8 years ago. Still havent sewn it up. Typical.
I’m itching to sew Sencha, but the CheckerBall dress of Doom must come first. I’ve nearly finished creating the pattern, but its a bit of a nightmare.
Note to self, buy a petticoat next time, don’t make one.
Ever.
Again.
