I’m not actually doing any sewing today, I just like alliteration. And I used to sew using purchased McCalls and Simplicity patterns, and I found this hilariously funny. I don’t know, blame it on lack of sleep. Or how strange these outfits are.
I’m not even kidding, we used to wear those bloomer type get ups in gym in high school.
Be thankful those went the way of the dinosaur, and have a fun weekend.

That bathing suit jacket looks like some wallpaper from my past. If only it had swans.

I loved the idea of Simplicity patterns, the whole idea of making something like what was in the picture. But that’s pretty much where it ended – after you open the envelope and take out all those sheets, it’s downhill.

LOL! That’s for sure. Nothing I made ever turned out right. Maybe because I didn’t have a stick figure physique.
And if someone said, oh, did you make that? you knew it was awful. 😄

I’d wear those bloomer-type things any day if it made my waist look like those in the pictures! Or my thighs!

My bloomers were blue, but every girl tucked her bloomers into her underpants to shorten them. The girl with the tightest rolled bloomers was Michelle Tyson. Thanks for the painful memory…I think.

Haha…that’s funny and something I’m sad to say we never thought of. We were too busy trying to stay out of sight from the boys with our winter legs and bloomered butts.
