Wowza! lovely pattern. The short sleeve blouse is awsome and I love the collar and matching sleeves...I WANT :lol:

Just got outbid on this, but then found another in a better size for me and for a better deal as a BIN!

The brown patterned dress is sweet as sugar. I get such a kick looking at the prices on the pattern face, they cost less than $1.00.

Ah yes, if only they had stayed that price

Neat, thanks! I ♥ the Betsy handbag and the 50's petticoat. I've bookmarked your blog.

I just got this lovely pattern from Lady Day's Etsy store I want to make it in linen for Summer!

I love 30's slacks but feel a narrower pant will be more flattering.

Yay!
You and DPD can be pattern twins!

I love seeing everyones patterns. I'm just starting to sew, and haven't sewn an item of clothing yet, but I've become addicted to hunting down patterns on Ebay. While 50's clothing is usually my favorite style, I can't seem to stop picking up 30s and 40s patterns, particularly the Hollywood patterns. I can't wait to attempt a few modern patterns first so I can try some of the vintage ones out.

I love the lace detail on that first one!

Beautiful pattern LD. i have been trying to find at leas one Superior pattern as I don't have any in my collection. I've never seen on from the 1930's before.
Love the house dress Land-O_LakesGal. I've been on a house dress kick latley.
Elpinoine-I hope you'll post pictures of what ever you sew. I love seeing vintage patterns but I love seeing what people make from them even more.

Me too! I've been muddling through my 3rd skirt from a vintage pattern and am "ironing out the kinks" as I go, as it were. Anyhow, I too am addicted to collecting patterns and trawling Ebay and Etsy (and vintage pattern websites ) most of which are waaaaay beyond my skill level at the present time. On the upside, I shall be enrolling on a dressmaking course come April so maybe I can get around to actually using these gorgeous patterns one day. I love this thread!

Learning to make clothes is something I really want to do! It is so hard to find clothes I like in shops.

There are some really pretty 50's patterns on eBay but most of the sizes are teeny tiny! Although in one of my old books there is an ideal weight / measurements chart which would fit with that.

I might start with an apron maybe. I have no sewing skills whatsoever!

AngelJenny, check out out sewing and FAQ thread. there is great info on what to start sewing in there.
