Sew Through the Decades Challenge, Week Seven: 1960’s

I used McCall’s M5972, view A.  I actually really like the other two better, but they are more work and I just don’t have time right now…maybe someday.

As some of you may have seen my first post, you’ll know I’m pretty positive the pattern doesn’t call for enough fabric.  So I had to settle for something found at Wal-Mart for $5.00 a bolt.  I do like how the fabric looks and the price, but I didn’t love working with it.  In the middle of the project I was thinking, “Why did I buy you, cheap fabric?!”  And then it answered, “Because you are cheap, too.”  True story.  And that is all I’ll say because my last post was a bit more whiny and no one likes a whiner:).

Here you can see why I need to cover the zipper with something worn on top—I’m sure I did something wrong and it’s supposed to be invisible somehow.  

I’m excited to see your 60’s projects!  Next decade up:  1970-1979!
