Show us your vintage patterns!
Oh, thank you for uploading!! I like the biking pants. But I´m afraid I´ll look pretty silly in them. There´s just one way to find out I guess: send me that pattern, please :D the blouse and skirt of the three piece ensemble (2nd picture) also look nice, but I have enough dress patterns I think...- Katinka von K.

Very nice find! I think it´s from the 40s and supposed to be worn on top of the head like this. Maybe even a bit on the back of your head like the girl on the left in this picture does. But I have no idea what to do about the stains :( Edit: maaaaan, hats and heads, very confusing :D- Katinka von K.

I´ll take every page of 1942, please ;) No seriously, does it contain any pattern for pants (not pyjamas)? You are so lucky to have two, I can´t even afford one with the ridiculous prices on ebay. Have been lusting over a 40s issue for 2 years now :)- Katinka von K.

Everyday Women of the Golden Era
For me, hair and make up are part of the new look. I can´t imagine their clothes in combination with the rather dramatic and somewhat graphic look of Dior. Here´s a picture I bought some time ago that is dated 1954. It was taken in Germany. It could easily be dated earlier, I think:- Katinka von K.

:D I didn´t do any of the "Für dich" patterns yet, but I´ve used other magazine patterns from the 30s, 40s and 50s, basically they are all similar. They are a bit confusing first but you get an overview of all the parts you need for the clothing and the tiny symbols on every single part that...- Katinka von K.

Everyday Women of the Golden Era
I think so, too. The new look was coming, but it hasn´t fully arrived yet in 1953. Not even in the magazines. I think we can blame the war for it?- Katinka von K.

Cool, a friend of mine works at c&a, so I might even get a discount :D. And I think the sandals will work very well with the capris, even if you don´t dye them. They look like a nice shade of pink on my screen.- Katinka von K.

Cute Vintage-y Shoes
I just saw these cute 50s vintage winter boots on ebay. To bad they are really tiny, otherwise my winter shoe problems would have been solved :( These are nice too. Same seller, same tinyness.- Katinka von K.

sick and tired of new scrap appliances.
^This! The stone that is our planet will still be there, no doubt. But what about all the critters and plants living on it that extinct because of our sick habits? It might sound like hippie talk but I find the thought horrible that we willingly destroy the habitat of thousands of plants and...- Katinka von K.

sick and tired of new scrap appliances.
two words: planned obsolescence. And it´s not only China (I´m pretty sure that most of the stuff we get from China was designed and developed by western engineers and designers), it´s a world wide process. In case you haven´t done so yet, you should check out the documentary "The light bulb...- Katinka von K.
