Rosie the Riveter was the fictional character pictured in posters to recruit women into the work force during World War II in the late 1940's. Women started working in large numbers building airplanes, slacks or overalls, and \"utility clothes\" became the uniform of Rosie and her colleagues. Folkwear pays tribute to the accomplishments of the heroic women with this hard working wardrobe of Shirt, Overalls, and Slacks to sew. This sewing pattern includes historical information and instructions for the knitted sweater and a crocheted snood to keep hair in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Shirt is styled from men's sport shirts and is know today as a \"camp\" shirt. It is a timeless shirt made in crisp white cotton, and lots of fun made in extra-large in bright tropical prints or patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe charming Sweater is knit in two colors in alternating garter and stockinette stitches.
