It’s Time for Tracksuits

I went to see the Olympic Torch process through Duns today (nothing like a free flag to make me a patriotic waver). It got me thinking about tracksuits and I found these amazing vintage sewing patterns:

1984 Simplicity Pattern 6620 

German his and hers tracksuits

Small men’s jogging outfit from 1977 

If I weren’t a busy bee at the mo I’d buy these and make myself a sweet new tracksuit for a summer of sitting on the sofa watching the Olympics.  But I’m occupied with preperations for the Royal Highland Show which starts a week today.  I’ve got a stall in the 3d3d tent and it’s going to be fun.

  1. My fashion illustrations were was greatly inspired by late ’70′s early ’80′s Simplicity sewing patterns. The fact that you refer to them as “vintage” is quite worrying. It seems like only yesterday ;)
