Show us your vintage patterns!
Cool! What a fun box! Let us know what they're like when they reach you! :) Kamikat, fabulous patterns! I had my eye on that last one, too. It's really nifty. I have a similar dress/suit my husband bought me at an estate sale. I'll have to take pics of it :)- Lauren

Where Art Thou?
O Brother Where Art Thou has to be one of the best costumed movies for this time period out there. I guess the reason I like it so much is because it really is accurate for what people in their position would have worn then. First thing I would suggest is looking back a few years in fashion...- Lauren

Wow! Thanks so much, gals!! I actually wore the top again today and was glad with how warm it is in this rainy weather. Cici, you know how absolutely wonderful and adorable I think your ensemble is! Amazing! I've been working on this for a while, and even though it was like torture to be...- Lauren

Vintage clothing: waist to chest ratio problems?
I agree... I have my waist to bust measurement isn't large (6 inch difference), so I guess it's average, but the 30s work well for me because the tops weren't meant to be worn that form fitting for daywear anyways... I think that's a huge misconception we've got about fit. The bust wasn't...- Lauren

Show us what you've made!
Everyone's been making such neat stuff! I made this blouse from a nice flannel that I got from Joann's on clearance for the Air Raid on Saturday. I also made my husband's jeans he's wearing in this picture. They were drafted off of a pair of 30s collegiate pants he owns and made to look like a...- Lauren

Show us your vintage patterns!
I've been a bit naughty lately... but here's a few patterns I recently picked up. From New Vintage Lady. I picture this in floaty cotton prints for summer. From an etsy seller who had some vintage wallpaper borders I had my eye on. It was $5, how could I resist? [huh] Love the wide waistband...- Lauren

Ditto that. Or wool. That would look awesome in a nice brown wool. Good. You talked me out of it ;) I'll make one someday for myself.- Lauren

1930's Ladies Sportswear
Noooo! That's a pity! Darn the 70s and their altering 30s clothes! I have a book published back then that tells how to do it and I seriously bought it at a secondhand store so no one would get any ideas. And to make other vintage lovers cry. Oh, the torture!- Lauren

How to tell the difference between Repro and Real Vintage
Care labels are often a sign a garment is newer. If it says where it's made, what the fabric content is, and the way to launder it's most likely not older vintage. Look for serged edges, too. Although the overlock machine was patented in the early 1900s it didn't get used as often until the...- Lauren

1930's Ladies Sportswear
Awww... yeah. It's from my old domain that I lost all the images from, and have had computer crashes since then so no longer have the info. Still haven't redone that on my new site but I have been scanning in some old catalog images from the 1930s and post some on my blog...- Lauren

Show us your vintage patterns!
Huh, that's funny. I don't think I've ever used a FF pattern that wasn't complete.[huh] I don't really care one way if it's FF or not. One good plus is that they're usually in better shape but as long as the pieces are there I really couldn't care less. Deadpandiva, I was watching those on...- Lauren

lol I know, right? I'm not sure what you have that takes three days... usually it takes 7-10 for echecks to clear with me. But that said, I'd rather get an echeck than a money order :) Saves me a trip to the bank! I totally feel ya on the no credit cards thing! I use paypal for every possible...- Lauren

I can't stand them either. Especially if the buyer gets snippy because you haven't sent their item before it clears.- Lauren

Thanks, gals! I have wanted one for a long time. I have seen a couple at antique stores and vintage shows, but I really know next to nothing about jewelry. I found a little guy like him in white a while back but he doesn't have a hat so I need to make him one. Now he'll have a friend :D Lady...- Lauren

I won this little guy today. I don't really know much about him other than he's cute and I'm pretty sure he's from WWII... does anyone know anything? Or even, out of curiosity, how much they're worth?- Lauren
