The 1980's called............

I have been having a clean out of things we stored in our basement laundry room.  We hauled everything out to  renovate it, and before putting everything back in, I have been going through things.  I have been going through a box which was marked "Sewing Stuff!!"

I found a pile of paper sewing patterns and have listed them on Facebook Marketplace.  I thought I would share a few of the photos of things we brought over with us from the UK in 1989.

I ordered the two Family Circle ones and paid  90p each for them.  I remember making our daughter one of the outfits on the bottom right pattern when she was a baby.

The ones below remind me of Princess Diana.......even the hairstyle; especially View C.

You could get away with wearing style's B & E now couldn't you?

I then went through a folder of things I cut out from magazines and here are some things I found from the 1980's.

This screams the 1980's doesn't it?  Even the colour's.

Do you remember when Cafe Curtains were all the rage?

Then finally from 1984, Hilary James' "Sew Easy Gifts for Christmas" Series from December 1984.  These came from Pebble Mill at One.  I honestly have no recollection of watching this show?  I had to look it up.

So as far as the laundry room goes, we have got some more done, but it's not quite finished yet.  We still have to buy the cupboards (kitchen units) to go in there, hopefully in the next week or so.

I hope you enjoyed my blast from the past?
