Out of the Ashes Sewing: McCall's 3206 Haute Halter Dress or Tunic & Pants 1972

I have finally "made" my first batch of yogurt. It's in the holding pattern right now. It should be done between 4 and 6 today. I will let you know how it turns out. Very excited! I used as my "starter" a greek plain yogurt that is my favorite.

Starting out today with this smokin' halter dress: McCall's 3206 Haute Halter Dress or Tunic & Pants 1972. Very rare pattern. What a winner.

This next one is a dual pattern. Depending on sizing it's for a man or woman. I have one misses' size and the rest are for men. Love the pants! Simplicity 9991 Men's Top & Hip Hugger Bell Bottom Pants 1972

I REALLY REALLY like this wrap dress! Butterick 3892 Most Becoming Wrap Dress 1970's. It's a Size 20 which is nice to have a larger size in a great retro pattern.

Get ready for summer! McCall's 2417 Free Spirited Top & Pants or Shorts 1970

Nice classy dress with a low waist. McCall's 3367 Cheery Dress & Tie 1972

A dress that at first glance seems lovely but blah. But a little trim and then the evening length and it is pure class. McCall's 3417 Prettily Trimmed Princess Dress 1972

This is a pretty neat pattern - a strapless wrap dress OR skirt.

Simplicity 9825 Dainty Wedding or Bridesmaid Dress & Scarf 1971 - this reminds me of seeing many weddings down at Mono Lake Park as there were and are lots of "hippies" in that rural area.

Check out that big pointy collar! Vogue 6511 Splashy Halter Dress or Jumper & Blouse / ca. 1965

Remember Hot Dog on a Stick??? I think they still wear the goofy hats and this just reminds me of that. Mmmm - getting hungry. McCall's 8254 Quirky Hat Wardrobe 1966

Just a great looking blouse! Vogue 7639 Dainty Dart Fitted Blouse 2002

Versatile and multi-sized too! Simplicity 2901 Summer Stroll Dress & Bag 2008

Amazing pattern and very rare too! That "coat" looks more like a jacket to me and a flared "swing" look to it. Hmmm - not sure if faux fur would work for a swing jacket? Simplicity 3926 Faux Fur Coat, Boot Covers & Dog Coat 2006
