    I was surfing around on the internet today

    and looking at old vintage sewing patterns.

    .

    .

    I saved some of the old squaw skirts - also referred to as patio skirts, broom skirts, tiered skirts, and/or fiesta skirts.
    .
    I think their name changed every decade, but basically they remain the same with a length or embellishment change.
    .
    I  find them interesting and beautiful.  Anyway, the fullness and tiering are the concept  behind our California Cowgirl Broom Tee.
    .
    just goes to show - nothing in fashion is really new!

     Surf Slang
    Bombora
    noun
    
    1.  An Australian word that refers to a big wave that
         breaks outside the normal surf line. 

    2.  Also an Austrailian vodka....
    3.  As the wave passes over the shallow area its shape is
         raised and steepened, creating a localised wave formation.

    I think I have one of those patterns. These skirts always remind of Seminole Patchwork, beautifully made.

    PowWows always give me inspiration.
    Have a great day.

    I have a huge stash of patterns if you run out!!
    Full tiered skirts are cool, hide lots of sins, and have been around for centuries!

    agree – I think the Seminole skirts are a class of their own – works of art!
