Today’s Pattern Story: Butterick 6766

Milly: I beseech thee, O All-Powerful Illustrator, from whom all accessories materialize; bestow upon me a pair of gloves and a hat, so that I may enter the confines of the place of sustenance with my compatriots!

Tilly: Milly, there is no such thing as the “all-powerful Illustrator”. You just forgot your hat and gloves again. Pay the dollar fine to the Women’s Club treasurer.

Milly: I beseech thee, O All-Powerful Illustrator, from whom all accessories materialize; bestow upon me a handbag, so that I can pay the sartorial tithe to the overseers of the assembly!

Tilly: Milly, they will just put it on your account. I’m starting to believe that you don’t even want to go to the annual flower show awards luncheon!

  1. Yaaaaaaaay!

    This reminds me that our local art thrift store has a WHOPPING paper pattern section with plenty of lovely vintage patterns. If I wasn’t already downsizing, I would have looked with more than my eyes.

  2. I used to have a ritual of staying in bed Sunday morning catching up with my blog list. Yours was my favourite. Then I got a new job, a house, a dog, covid happened, I got divorced. And I found myself wondering if I could reclaim my Sunday morning reading. Wonderful to see you’re still here. All the best.
