So. Questions for you dressmakers: Has anyone used a Simplicity "How to Sew" pattern? Are these patterns good teaching tools for newbies like me? And are the finished garments attractive? I await your responses. In fact, I am on pins and needles. Share. Don't make me suffer. Please. I beg you.

I was going to mention Susan Dey, but then I thought, “Oh my gawd, I can’t say it. She’s gonna think I’m neurotic about celebrities.”
OK. I am neurotic!

I agree on the blouse….but the jumpsuit…not quite yet.\
Gotta love Susan Dey.

Hey, watch out, missy, I really like the blouse! And, yep, it’s Susan Dey. And Julie Christie is wearing the yummy trench on the New York Designer 1040.

Well — they might help if you actually want to wear that jumpsuit b/c worn in the wrong place might get you banished to a desert island where you would have to learn to sew your own clothes…
Actually — I took classes for about a year and relearned with the Readers’ Digest Book.
PS — Is that Susan Dey on the envelope.
