Show us your vintage patterns!
I'd been waiting for this one to pop back up, and within my price range, and I was SO excited to win it last night and be the only bidder. Whoopee! I told my husband he needs to take me to Paris so I can wear it walking along the fashionable Rues and to dessert at Laduree. He laughed. Well...- Lauren

Thanks, gals, for the comments on the kids clothes I made. I hope they like them! It's kind of fun having kids to sew for- I started really sewing when I made doll clothes, so it's kind of like returning to childhood in a way for me- but they go on actually living kids! lol Babydoll, I didn't...- Lauren

The ones that got away
It happens all the time. I have asked at thrift stores and estate sales for old patterns and have heard everything from "we throw them away because we don't know if they have all the pieces" to "we just use them as packaging for glass" Since they were meant to be disposable and paper doesn't...- Lauren

The ones that got away
That story hurts. Ouch. I actually kind of like that bag- hopefully the pattern was really, really incomplete before it got pasted. I like the idea of the patterns being framed as art rather than being pasted, though- you could do as well with a nice photocopy for decoupage. It is kind of nice...- Lauren

Suspenders for Women
I think it depends- in fashion terminology this constitutes as a "suspender" look for women. I do have dirndl patterns, too, but the "suspender skirt" was a different look but in the same class of "folk inspired wear" of the late 30s. Women did wear suspenders, but it was usually, if I was not...- Lauren

Sabrina Hat
If you want a smooth hat it shouldn't be too hard. You can get a styrafoam head at most beauty supply shops, then use tin foil to build up the head to similar measurements to yours. Cover it in plastic wrap. Get your hat blank nice and wet before you try molding it. After it's dry and molded...- Lauren

Beauty Complaints
Ditto that! I have a big ol' tub of neon blue gel and it works great for setting waves. The cheaper the better. -

Rave 'n' Rant
Mac Pro Longwear Lipcolor This stuff stays put more than any all day lipstick I've tried. I usually have to reapply at the center of my lips for a long day, but it usually takes my cold cream to get if off at night. Good stuff! I have it in Lasting Lust and Commitment, and I think both work... -
Beauty Complaints
I hate everything having to do with hair. Setting it, shaving legs, plucking eyebrows. After it's curled, though, I have fun playing with it. It's just the curling part I hate. Hate doing my eyebrows. Hate the smell of lottabody, and hate hairspray- the smell, how sticky it feels if it gets... -

I know, it's true. I almost bought another pattern just because I liked her silly hat. lol Too bad the hats don't come with purchase!- Lauren
