This circa one is circa 1975 & looks like a newar copy of this spring top from The Gap! Change the sleeves a little & add some buttons down the from seam & some pin tucks, Ta Da!
This one is one is also circa 1975, but it looks a lot like this current top from the Gap spring line. The gap top is knit but I think that with just a little tweeking it could be pretty darn close.
This Vogue I have no idea what year it is from, but I just thought that it was cute! It didn't come with the envelope, but did have the page from the pattern book. I have no plans at the moment for this one but I think that it would be super cute for fall? I can't get my head around what to make it up in for spring or summer for some reason.
Anyway I thought that I would share the fab finds I received from Pattern Rescue & urge more vintage pattern lovers to check them out. I think that they are doing a great job & hope that with our support that they can continue on!

just discovered you ,great stuff. I love the idea of looking at old patterns in new ways!I always cut out multiples in the largest size and keep all the patterns i buy to use again.
Wow, you have a good eye for looking at the details and translating it into a current RTW look. Me? I'm too lazy for that, that's why I read blogs like yours LOL.
I really like those patterns! I can't wait to see your versions :)
Isn't it funny how old fashions come back again. I'm sure if I go through my Mum's pattern, I'll find something to suit this season.
Great patterns.
My sister had Simplicity 7049 in the mid 1970's. She made it in a light blue denim. Her and I both wore it, but mostly me I think. I wore it with a long sleeved yellow turtle neck underneath.
I really loved this top!
I made Simplicity 7049 back in the 70s, too--a dress out of gray knit.

Hello,
I discovered you while googling hot patterns, as I'm thinking of buying a couple but wante dot see what other people thought of them. Have you had the time to mkae anythign yet? If so, I'd love to see any photos posted up on your blog. It can be a little hard to tell what the finished garment will look like from drawings. But your endoresement is so enthusiastic, I'm thinking of going ahead anyway.
