Marlene: Darlene, do you see that?
Darlene: What?
Marlene: That poor woman over there. No, not now. Now. Look.
Darlene: Oh, my goodness. I can’t believe it.
Marlene: So you’re seeing it too? I thought I was hallucinating.
Darlene: No — she’s actually wearing a dress without any pockets.
Marlene: I didn’t know they still made those!
Darlene: It must have been grandmothered in. It’s certainly from before the Handbag Revolt.
Marlene: Where does she put her keys? Or her lipstick? Or … her hands?
Darlene: We shouldn’t stare. It’s not kind. I’ve got two handkerchiefs and some safety pins in my pockets, maybe we can offer to make her some pockets? Just until she can get home.
Marlene: You’ve got a good heart, Darlene. Let’s go.
Phew! You haven’t stopped blogging! I’d just about given up on you!

The horror of no pockets knows no bounds. That poor woman, bless her soul.

I agree with Gail above. I love your humor and with the pattern ladies it is hysterical I cannot look at a Vintage pattern now without thinking of some silly dialogue to go with it. Keep up the good work!

This made me giggle. I love your blog and after catching up on the 100 dress posting I feel I must get back to sewing. After making my daughter’s wedding dress (against my will I must say) I just packed up my machine. But I think it’s time to get it back out.
