[Obligatory disclaimer: This is an updated repost from my old blog dated September 2, 2023. Thus, if it seems familiar, it is.]
It seems that Hollywood has now entirely run out of fresh ideas and is, has, or is planning to reboot anything popular in the past. Thus, I have decided to take some inspiration from the folks “down below” and do a 1970s reboot of my own.
So, what does this mean in the Foxes’ universe? I plan to pull some of my favorite patterns from my archives and remake these vintage gems using modern fabrics that my meager allowance could not afford. I will then apply my current sewing skills and techniques that my 12 and 15-year-old self did not have.
We will also explore the beginnings of my Capsule Wardrobe obsession that started with Seventeen magazine’s August 1978 “Back to School” issue.
This will be a slow process (as knitting and possibly crocheting will be involved), and I’m toying with the idea of making videos along with the blog posts, but that is yet to be seen as I’m quite camera-shy.
PS: These finished items will ultimately be available for purchase and will be Missy sizes 12-14, as those are the sizes of the patterns.
