Old Patterns-can be purchased from Etsy and Ebay and sometimes other sites... just search the company-pattern number-sewing pattern and you will see who still has these patterns available... People resell patterns they never used all the time... These are my favorite patterns I use over and over again... 20 minute pants including cutting out.... drapeneck blouse maybe 2 hours... Jacket after cutting out sewing takes about an hour and half..... but simple sewing

Sewing Simple Jams
Bringing in Spring with Some Jams
Okay, spring is here finally.
It is a little Chilly. Officially it is here with these Jams.
Fabric is from G Street Fabrics The cotton Novelty Wall-Great for theme Items
Simple Pattern for Shirt and Shorts... Here we made the shorts.
These are the simple Long Jams Front...Side Seam Pockets
Back Has 2 Back Pockets with Flaps and Velcro Tabs under Flaps
Back Pocket is camouflaged with this print
Pattern calls for one pocket... I did two for good measure...
I didn't try to match flaps or pockets, but they still camouflaged well.
This was an easy shorts pattern, so next we will do a shirt with it and see if that is one I feel is easy too.
