I *love love loved* Fashion Plates. I must have burned days and days and entire acres of forest land playing with that thing.
I had Fashion Plates! Gosh, I'd forgotten all about it. Thanks for posting that.

Born2BeeWild, was it a SewPerfect?

This post just made me so happy, I had completely forgotten those. Thank you!!!! *We had such cool toys in the 70's and 80's!!!!
Oh my goodness, I loved those! I had forgotten about it until this post, that's so great! I wish I knew what happened to mine!

Remember "Little Van Goes"? Before there were mini-vans. So much fun.
