My First Project From a Vintage Pattern...

I have been collecting & selling vintage patterns for the last few years. So you'd think I'd have tried my hand at making a few? Sadly, no. I am ashamed! I finally got my act together and chose an easy "How to Sew Pattern" to make as a gift for a friend. She sent me an Appalachian Trail cross stitch kit a couple years back and when I finally finished it I decided to make this vintage jumper and applique the cross stitch on the front. Simplicity 7075 - from 1975. It was definitely easy, and decidedly fun. Who knows if it's wearable - it looks a little awkward, I'll admit - but I love the Lauren & Jessi Jung fabric with the delicate little deer and clouds.
