This was before I was making my patterns in CAD. This was not my first time taking a pattern off an old garment, I had done a Victorian bustle dress in a Friends collection earlier. This was however the first time I shared a pattern online. I have fond memories of taking the pattern off while my eldest child was in the highchair.
Or my Tribute to the late great Janet Arnold.
Women's Land Arm Corduroy Breeches
My mother bought these for me at a used Clothing store in Washington State, USA. I like odd clothing.
The
Women's Land Army was a British war time task force mobilizing women to
take over jobs that men used to do, mainly farm work, from what I can
tell.
