I bought these at an estate/garage sale. I paid 2$ for all of them! I was actually looking for sewing patterns. They had a sewing machine but no patterns. I wanted to ask if there were any sewing patterns the lady might consider selling but (from my understanding) she was inside, heartbroken, and I think it would have been rude. She was moving into a nursing home - the reason for the sale.

Oh my gosh, that is so sad I need a moment to process it before I post my new pattern.........sometimes I feel bad knowing that the reason all of these patterns are on etsy and ebay is because the women who owned them have died or gone into nursing homes. I know it is the cycle of life...but it's still bittersweet. From now on let's all wave to the sky and say "Thank You!" when we find these little gems!!

My other patterns finally came!

The first one shipped to me still with its original wax paper sleeve! That floored me. The Hollywood patterns are great and Im so happy I finally got a frock/apron combo pattern, in my size! I can cross that crazy expensive one at Rubylane off my wish list!

Yay patterns!

I stumbled upon this one on Ruby Lane doing a random 'NRA" search. Its got multiple sizes in it AND a long sleeve option! Squeeeee!!!!!! IT also had a make an offer option attached to it. After much discussion from the seller (who was super polite) I got over $18 chopped off the final price! Yay!

Wow LD, That pattern is seriously nice!
Need to check Ruby lane again, sometimes they have nice and cheap stuff

 

[Lady Day]

I have a favorite seller on RL that has great patterns, but her stuff, gosh love her, is easily 40-50% OVER going rates anywhere! Some of her prices are down right laughable, considering you can find as good an equivalent on eBay. Ive emailed her, asking for a negotiation, but she refuses. Only now do I see her taking $3 off here $5 there. On a pattern that shes marked as $45 that should be $20, thats not going to make too big a difference.

Sorry for my rant
