I was supremely lucky when Lorna of The Tailor’s Apprentice contacted me about reviewing her 1940’s Australian Women’s Land Army Overalls pattern, “Beryl”. It has been a long process, since I started working on them in March, but they are finally done and they’re really quite darling.

It’s a vintage shirt, but it is actually from the 80s. When the 70s started trying to do the 40s…Ship N Shore is the brand.

I love them and they look good on you. You do Rosie the Riviter proud.
