You always make me wish I was more involved in my sewing 20 or so years ago so my skill level would be to the point I could make modifications to patterns and my wardrobe would already have the vintage pieces I want. I have that housecoat pattern and oh my if I can get myself together I would love something like this for my next birthday. The hat is perfect.
