Rosie the Riveter

Description

The heroic working women of World War II inspired this factory wardrobe of camp shirt, pleated slacks and overalls with sweetheart bib. Rosie the Riveter was the fictional character pictured in posters to recruit women into the work force during World War II in the late 1940's. This sewing pattern includes historical information and instructions for the knitted sweater and a crocheted snood to keep hair in place.

The Shirt is styled from men's sport shirts and is know today as a "camp" shirt. It is a timeless shirt made in crisp white cotton, and lots of fun made in extra-large in bright tropical prints or patterns.

The pleated Slacks have side pockets and a back zipper. Straight legs fall smoothly from the hips for a clean look. Add the sweetheart-shaped bodice for Overalls with straps that cross in the back.

The charming Sweater is knit in two colors in alternating garter and stockinette stitches. It has set-in sleeves and a round neck; and to keep your hair out of the machinery, a simple Snood to crochet completes the package.

Suggested fabrics: For Shirt, choose medium-weight cotton, rayon, silk, or blends. For Slacks and Overalls, choose medium to heavyweight cotton, wool, blends, corduroy, denim, velvet or velveteen.

Sizes: Misses XS–2XL
