The pattern on the tote bag is just for decorative purposes, so I used the pieces that fit in artfully.
The pattern for the dress is real, however and one of a series of patterns Shippensburg Fashion Archives and I (my alter ego Martha McCain) will be making available next year. The patterns will be 1/8" scale direct patterns from garments in the museum's collection. Included will be an written essay about the garment, a picture essay of research showing its place in fashion history, and lots of color photographs of the garment, inside and out. So far I've patterned five of their mid-century pieces. When we have some of these patterns ready to put on the website, you KNOW I'll be telling you about it!
