Tag: sewing 1950s

When my kids excitedly came home from work at Chick-fil-A, they had news that there was going to be a Sock Hop in two weeks with a costume contest!

When I ran out of large enough pieces of fabric for the skirt pattern, I pieced remnants together, which is 18th century…and I learned is also 1952 accurate.

While my daughter chose the peach silk, I’m excited about my gingham which reminds me of a party dress worn in the 1958 movie Houseboat starring Cary Grant.
