>Hope everyone had a grand weekend! I’ve been adding a few patterns to the Etsy shop and just having a nice normal day. It’s a bit gloomy today for California standards for a day in May, and I’m finding the weather is making me want to snuggle in with some tea, get creative with some sewing, and cook up some nice comfort food for dinner.
Here’s a few inspiring pages from a 1934 catalog to inspire your monday. Aren’t the colors wonderful?
Lovely Cotton frocks for summer- the descriptions are on the page following with the girls dresses at the top.
And wonderful designs in vibrant colors for summer silks! I love the sleeves a la Letty Lynton, and the green and yellow dress a the bottom.
Hope your week is off to a great start!
