It seems that Hollywood has now completely run out of fresh ideas and is, has, or is planning to reboot anything popular in the past, and 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’ Costuming universe? I plan on pulling some of my favorite patterns from my archives and remaking these vintage gems using modern fabrics that my meager allowance could not afford and then applying 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 there will be knitting and possibly crocheting 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 really quite camera-shy.
PS: These finished items will ultimately be available for purchase and will be Missy sizes 12-14, as those are what sizes the patterns are.
