Everything Old is New Again! Especially in the World of Vintage Fashion

When you handle as many Vintage patterns as I do in a weeks time, you start to see the same concepts over and over and over again.  But seldom do you actually have such an example of the 25 year rule as I ran across this week.  Listed now are these three Bib Overall Shorts patterns from 3 very distinctive Vintage Eras.  Rosie the Riveter from 1946, Hanna the Hippie from 1974, and the latest in 1996.  Who knows what version of this comfortable attire will show up in 2021?  Just hope I'm around to see it.

That 70's Style

A couple of years ago I found these OOAK crochet bell bottoms at an Estate Sale and I recognized them immediately as something from the 70's. They were quite small and the buyer was quite happy with them. The versatility of wearing them as leggings under a mini skirt or as a swim suit cover up seemed to appeal to a wide variety of people. Young and old and large and small. I received several requests for the pattern for them and sadly I didn't have one and didn't know where to find one.




WELL! The search is over. Just this week I found a pattern. This Riviera Set has a sweet little shrink top to match. Made in cotton yarn of chain loops and flower borders and sized for modern size 8-10 and 12-14 the pattern is available at both our Etsy Store and www.cemetarian.com



If you crochet or know someone who does, this sexy and sassy outfit can be yours.

SISTERS! Twin Sisters. Dressing Alike for 88 Years

Born in 1915 these Identical twins loved playing jokes on the people around them.

They confused teachers in grade school and in High School they usually liked the same boy. One would flirt with a young man, leave and the other would come in putting on her act. The poor guys didn't stand a chance. The always shopped together and dressed identically. Calling to tell each other what they were wearing that day even if they weren't going to be together. One sister married twice and was in a long term relationship when she died. The other never married. In the thousands of pictures we found, there is only one of them NOT dressed alike and there are several of the Man of the Moment sandwiched between the sisters.

But like the song says "Lord help the Mister, who comes between me and my Sister, and Lord help the Sister who comes between me and my man"

A select lot of 100+ Twin Photos can be found this week at cemetarian on eBay
