Have you ever read a pattern incorrectly? And how did it turn out? #SewingChat #SewingPatterns

Once again, I’ve been working with vintage Simplicity pattern 4883 for Ideal Tammy dolls. This time I was making the little red coat in View 1. As you can see in Figure 2 above, the image on the envelope shows little black stitches at the neckline and waistline of the finished coat. I saw this and thought, “Oh goodie-goodie gumdrops!

The text at the top of the image reads as follows: "free A-4 patterns for eleven inch doll clothes" and just under this text box, we see four images of Pedigree Sindy vintage dolls modeling two dresses, one set of undergarments, and a skirt-halter-top combined set of dolls' clothes. Beneath these photos of the Sindy dolls modeling handmade dolls' clothes, we see an arrow upon which is written "free sewing patterns" and which points to graphic images of a dress pattern, sleeve patterns, and a vest pattern. The logo says, "Chelly Wood dot com" and is shaped like a bodice pattern.

Last week’s blog post was called, “Can vintage Sindy dolls fit in clothes made for vintage Tammy?

A pair of silver flat shoes are shown in close-up. They have a slit at the back of the heel and a pointy toe with a sort of off-kilter diamond imprinted into the plastic at the front of the shoe. Even the inside of the shoes are made of silver plastic.
