    About

    I was talking to my cousin about holidays we had taken together. She commented about an outfit that I had once worn. She was very surprised when I said that I still had the bolero, I was even more suprised to find that I still had the pattern.
    Woman's Weekly April 1969, and it was called Sweet Dreams.

      Great! Yes I have some knit wear that I made many years ago that I can't part with and some I still wear now after making a few additions!
