    Show us your vintage patterns!

    Hi Elaina, it's a great tip about taking some fabric to try but I am such a complete novice. I haven't used a sewing machine since college (some 8 years ago) and I wouldn't know 'what to feel' when using it as I wouldn't be using it confidently.

    Ebay trouble again.....

    Oh poor you :( We have had some odd experiences, even as sellers. Maybe this particular seller has had a string of bad buyers, or maybe they are just rubbish sellers! Have you checked their feedback score and read through any negative comments they may have?

    I love Dita! Has anyone read her book? It is excellent - I thought it would all be about her, but was pleasantly suprised by all of the informative tips she gives! And I will certainly look out for Esquire! - and for the piece about you Manton!
