    Show us your vintage patterns!

    We have none of those. ;) But seriously - I once graded up a pattern from a 40" bust to a 56" bust and it was not fun. Do-able, but not fun. I spent I don't know how long doing these complex equations to make everything fit right and yeah - I second the "if you can get it in your size -...

    The ones that got away

    It hasn't ended yet - but my hopes of snagging it have faded fast as the pricetag creeps higher and higher. Sigh - it would have gone perfect with the new swallow marcasite brooch & screw-back earring set I just got as a present, too. Dang. I'm off to cry in the corner now.

    It's only sad if you buy the pattern because you like the illustration of the shoes - which I've done.

    Ode to a hot water bottle.

    I picked this one up at Marshall Field's a few years back. For those link-shy, it's I love it. It's very easy to use via a hidden twist spout in the back and it's never too-hot-to-touch due to the ducky cover. I highly recommend it.

    Yep - lost patterns haunt you for the longest time. I still remember how peeved I was to lose a particular sailor outfit years ago. But I did eventually find another copy (and in my size to boot). But that's a woe best left to The Ones That Got Away thread. Here's a couple I picked up the...

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    Ouch! That heel. I always want to buy shoes from Bakers because they have cute styles and great sales - but then I imagine walking around in the 4-5" stiletto heels they love to put on their shoes. . . :eek:

    The skirt looks to be in dreadful condition. I'm thinking I will just turn it into a hat, matching purse & maybe some extra for detailing on a new skirt to match the blazer.
