Free Pattern Friday – 30s Checkered Puff Sleeves!

This week’s freebie is an adorable 1930s crocheted number with a checkered peter pan collar and matching belt and ascot. The 1930s had the perfect mix of classy and girlie, resulting in a delightfully elegant ladylike look, pretty much the opposite of the modern sorority uniform of knotted t-shirt, sweat/pajama pants rolled at the waist, and grody worn flip-flops. Seriously ladies IT’S WINTER. Cover your feet; the frostbite isn’t worth showing off your french pedicure (ew). It is my sincerest hopes that by sharing a bit of historical loveliness each week I cancel out someone, somewhere swathing their ass in velour reading ‘JUICY’.
