Thank you Mich, there are a few more but i am feeling guilty of posting all myself here so ill wait till somebody else post some.
Now i have the patterns, have even wonderful fabrics but to be honest, i feeling quite drained in energy for quite a few months so, i dont know when i will start with the sewing thing.

LOL Lorena, whoooo! I've bought a lot of patterns lately too, we're going to be busy.

I have this pattern as well:

You'll like it! Very easy but very cute.

Lorena B · Oct 23, 2009

Is it Cici? did you already make it?

A question regarding selling vintage patterns...

Is it better to sell them in lots on eBay? Do you tend to get a better price that way? I have 5 deadstock 1920s patterns (3 dresses, 2 blouses) all bust 38. Do you think I should sell them seperately or in a lot to get the best price?

Yep! I made the top out of a striped seersucker and the skirt out of linen in the summer.

SayCici · Oct 24, 2009

Having said that, it's really versatile - if it's cool where you are, it'll look great in any fabric you use.

You might lose some money if you post them all in a lot. What I would do is post the lot, but list individual prices aswell. This has always worked in my experience, and sometimes, I've ended up with more money than I would have gotten for the whole lot sold to one seller.

Also try the classifieds in this forum! That way, you have guaranteed interest.

Good luck!

Lauren · Oct 24, 2009

I agree- you'll probably get more money for them individually, especially since they're oss and a nice size.

Nice patterns, ladies

I would sell them separately. Lots tend to put me off, to be honest as there's usually something I'm not so keen on in there. But then I am Madame Fusspot!

Well, i was thinking in glam it up a bit using some nice taffeta and beads, i am in the party mood lately lol

Do you reckon the top will accept some boning? it quite inspires me to make it corset style!!

MissAmelina · Oct 25, 2009

I think I went over a month without buying patterns (which is nothing short of a miracle....) and finally settled on these beauties that had been on ebay for awhile...waiting patiently for me.

Yippiieee, lumber jacket!!
I really dig the sleeve treatment on the first shirt on that 2nd Hollywood pattern....and I needed a couple more basic 40's shirtdresses---there's no buttons on that first one, which will be a nice change.
If all goes well, I will be employed again on monday---which means I can start sewing up some new garments and save my sweatpants for special occasions.

That would be swell.

The taffeta will be amazing! About the boning, I have no clue, I've never used it and have only been sewing for a couple months. But I think if your fabric is fairly medium-weight you may not need it.
