What were the pattern illustrators at Kwik Sew smoking in the 70s? I'm sorry, but I don't associate women's undergarments in a field with concepts like "fun hobby" and "happy sewing." I associate them with concepts like "crime scene" and "ritual murder."
And no, the pretty flowers don't make it any better.
P.S. It's available over at MOMSPatterns. They're having a sale through October 31 -- just use the code "dressup" to get 15% off.
OK. I know that Kwik Sew 345 is supposed to be all childlike and innocent, but it just creeps me out. And yes, since it's from the 60s or 70s the resemblance to the poster for The Silence of the Lambs is completely coincidental, but it's there. Behold:
Kwik Sew:
Silence of the Lambs:
The more I look at the Kwik Sew pattern illustration, the more it creeps me out. What's the boy hiding behind his back, and why is he smiling like that? What's wrong with the girl's fingers? They're just weird. And why does she have that big jelly arm? Does she even have arm bones? Where are the boy's feet?!
Ick.
