More fun With Pockets
lots of thanks to Susan, who sent me this link from SoVintage Patterns.
First off, I love the zest of the person who thought “Two pockets bad, four pockets good” over there on the right. It’s nearly marsupial in its bepocketed elegance. Although if I went to full Pocket Mania I would be anxious that I’d always be patting all the pockets, like the White Rabbit seeking his watch, trying to find my cell phone when it rings. (Vibrate mode in a full skirt is not nearly as locative as you might think.)
The tulip version is pretty too, but how much better would it be if they were little alligator heads, opening their jaws to swallow your stuff? Or bird beaks? Or something else a little less pretty-pretty? maybe flames, engulfing the pocket contents? There are lots of ways to have fun with something like this. who says cutesy appliqué is reserved for the under-ten set?
SoVintage has this provided as $38 (!) … click on the image if you need to have it.
