I have been looking for a current pattern that is close to the vintage one I love. This is it! The View  A is almost exactly like my pattern from the 1950s. If you are wanting to make some vintage styles this pattern will get you there!  It comes with 4 styles in one envelope: brief, bikini, hipster, and thong all available in all sizes.  This year I am planning to do a lingerie/sleepwear type project as the first project of each month! I have added a lingerie/sleepwear playlis t on my youtube channel. . Timestamps available if you click through to YouTube If you are enjoying my videos please consider subscribing on Youtube!
