They just don't make 'em like they used to. A few years later, after getting a BS in Biology, I decided I like sewing and designing so much, I went back for a degree in Apparel Design. And even though now (over 30 years later) I can easily draft my own patterns, I still have those 70's era patterns recently renewed through Etsy purchases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-67977171274268811902014-04-15T04:27:00.111-04:002014-04-15T04:27:00.111-04:00I love that little radish - and the 70s!

It was that James Taylor folk-y, hippy "back to the land" look. I think I made a Betsey Johnson Butterick "Young Designer" pattern with knee patches back then as a teen. Guys would have patches on their overalls, too, probably sewn on by their girlfriends, who learned to sew in Home Ec.
