Folkwear 240 Rosie the Riveter Outfit

Buy the 240 Rosie the Riveter Outfit sewing pattern from Folkwear. The heroic working women of World War II inspired this factory wardrobe of camp shirt, pleated slacks, and overalls with sweetheart bib. The shirt is timeless is a crisp white cotton and lots of fun made extra-large in bright tropical prints. The pleated slacks have side pockets and a back zipper. Straight legs fall smoothly from the hips for a clean look. Add the sweetheart-shaped bodice for overalls with straps that cross in the back. The pattern includes historical information and instructions for a knitted sweater and a crocheted snood to keep hair in place.
