Show us your vintage patterns!

[Kim_B]

I think I posted this in the "Show us your purchases" thread, but I can't remember....at any rate, this is the only patter I own, to date. I bought it because I love the style and it didn't seem that complicated. Now all I need to do it make some copies and take it to my Grandmother's house (after my birthday, when I get my sewing machine - fingers crossed!) so she can show me how to do it!

GOK, I'm in love with your Simplicity 3233, would you mind if I made a copy of that one?? I'd pay for postage for shipping and all that.

No problem MP, I have to do some for LD and CD so it's no trouble to do one for you too.

You're wonderful!! I'll PM you my mailing address, and if you need me to send you postage, let me know.

Oh, btw, I adore the abbreviations of our names.

What about us boys?

Does anyone of you know where to find patterns for men's clothes? Seems a bit more difficult....

My shocking number of patterns--1930s

A cloudy cold day here in Beantown (and finally some snow!)--a perfect day to look through one's patterns. Here are some of mine--I know I have more that will turn up as I keep organizing.

If anyone wants copies just let me know, I'm happy to share.

1940s Patterns

The hat on the right is from the 1920s (obviously)

1950s Patterns

I LOVE the coat on the left, can't wait to make it!

I think every vintage seamstress has made the dress on the left, but it's so cute. I need to jump on that bandwagon.

1960s patterns

Love the suit on the right, especially with that hat!

The dress on the left is another one I'm looking forward to making this year.

 

[Folly]

Such wonderful patterns you lucky souls have! All mine are repros.
I do so wish I had another 1940's one, which was aimed at beginners as my only 40's one causes me such troubles!

Gosh, these patterns are fantastic. The slacks are my favourites. I envy you.

Gorgeous patterns, looking at them makes me wish even more that i could sew!!

 

[Miss Sis]

Yum - patterns!

I like the slacks too

Yet more patterns...

This weekend I was wracking my brain to remember where I put the rest of my patterns; I couldn't find them anywhere in the house. Turns out I took them to work to copy the instruction sheets. At least they were safe!

Again, copies happily given if desired, just let me know. Enjoy!

The one on the left was shown earlier, but in b/w

The last of them...

 

[Amelie]

This is my little collection... But I should receive more in the next few days

(i've lost the envelope for the last one, I don't know how that happened since I am keeping each pattern very carefully in separates plastic bags [huh] )

 

[Lauren]

Gosh, everyone has such lovely patterns! It's fun seeing them.
I just got this one on ebay. I collect the Mccall ones especially and I had never seen this one before, and it's from one of my favorite years for their patterns, 1942!

 

[Amelie]

Lauren, I've just been on your website, and what you can do is absolutely amazing! If I had more money I would be ordering an entire wardrobe from you!!


Arrrr, I need to buy a mannequin and a better machine :cry:

 

[Lauren]

Wow! Thank you

 

[Kim_B]

I am *DROOLING* over the first pattern...my, what a beautiful dress!!
