Culottes Sewing Pattern
Do you know the feeling when you discover a vintage pattern that takes you back in time and gives you inspiration for new sewing projects? I recently stumbled upon a beautiful 1970s culottes pattern that I simply couldn't resist! The pattern is called 'Angels' Culottes, and I just finished sewing a beautiful pair that I'm excited to share with you.
