vintage. voila!

I did some research and discovered that my vintage Simplicity pattern was probably published between 1934-1939. The article is an eBay Guide that shows how to date patterns by envelope illustration. Very cool!
 

And so, revisiting from the mid-1930s, a baby jacket in pink. Voila!
3 vintage baby buttons + silk ribbon

sweet Peter Pan collar + dainty cuffs

gathered to yoke both in front and in back
label placement least likely to bother Baby
finished coat ~ seamstress perspective



In the final 2 photos, I have turned the little coat inside out to show how it's finished. Can you see the precious Lecien stripe fabric lining the collar?

I'm SO glad you dropped by. Next time, the bonnet!
xo, Nancy
