re: #153 De Kolta Chair
Like many women who grew up in the Depression, my mother sewed her own dresses (usually from Butterfield patterns), and she was one stylish dish.
My mom is also a child of the depression (b. 1927) and sewed almost all her clothes and ours while we were growing up. My sister and I were regularly teased about our clothes since everybody else was wearing store bought stuff. Some of our outfits were terrific though.
I think the pattern company you were thinking of was Butterick?
