textile pattern week: day 4

k's dog, mormor, mom, aunts k and m. (my aunt k is not this short. not sure how this photo makes her seem so short! {sag till om ni vill inte vara med har k o m.})

thought i'd post a pic from some of my first textile pattern memories. my mom had many of these simple, a-line floral skirts when i was little (again, it was the 70's). being skirt height, i had a close relationship with all those flowers. (i wonder what the skirts were made of, because some of them were softer than cotton or cotton/poly—almost flannel-ish.) and of course, i remember really liking some of my own patterned clothing, which i didn't pick out, but appreciated anyhow. i remember some brown and white striped, ribbed tights, a red miniskirt with white flowers (sewn by my aunt), a ladybug nightgown (loved that thing). it's funny how well i remember a lot of clothes. do you vividly remember childhood clothes too?

can't believe i forgot to post lotta's link on my swedish textile designers link day. i've had her website link on my links page for years, but i didn't know she now also has a wonderful blog.
