The cereal offer with patterns was a newer version of the appeal of a daily staple that had some extra usefulness for the 1950s modern woman.<br />Submitting a boxtop now is ancient history, and UPC codes likely will go that way too when sending them away for an offer or contest entry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-49459285110041092792012-08-11T18:47:45.249-04:002012-08-11T18:47:45.249-04:00OMG, that was fantastic!

Judging from Liz's post (thanks for the address Helen) it would be a nice exercise in cutting and precision stitching round the sleeves. Maybe MPB day will be the time when the perfect fabric emerges from karmic warehouse to meet the pattern. I hope the day is wonderful for all who are there to celebrate it. I celebrated it half a world away today by buying some very nice hefty lining fabric at half price!Cleverclogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168361912898524778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-77623506193454500712012-08-10T21:58:35.301-04:002012-08-10T21:58:35.301-04:00How I wish I could be there tomorrow!
