    The ones that got away

    I saw the styles and didn't even see the sizes! That lot was awesome. Darn. Those early McCalls are so pretty. *le sigh*

    Vintage gift to a none vintage friend or colleague

    I think maybe a nice vintage brooch would go over well, if you know they like accessories. Can't go wrong with rhinestones. :D

    1920s - fashion with fun, whimsy and chic

    Mojito, I was just discussing these with a friend a few days ago! Can you tell me, were they meant to be hats or wigs? I've seen them sold as both. And how did they come about? Congrats on your find!

    Vintage gift to a none vintage friend or colleague

    I have given a few gifts to non-vintage friends, but they didn't ever wear the clothing. I've had a bit more luck with old books- if you know something someone is interested in sometimes they get a kick out of a vintage book about it.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    Yeah, could be! It's a mystery! I know they have this wierd machine at a place I used to work that could get into tiny nooks and crannies. Kind of looked like a sewing machine I'd imagine a cobbler would use but I never saw anyone use it. It kind of looked like this, but huge and old and heavy...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    You do have to attach if from the inside by hand- at least that's the only way I could see doing it unless you had special machinery designed for that purpose. Usually it's done on things with a lining so you can't see the stitching on the inside. If you can get a hold of the Classic...

    Thank you so much, gals, for your comments on my outfit! :o I'm truly very flattered! Blondie, I've been sewing since I was about 8 years old although that sometimes included safety pins and tape. My early barbie dresses were stylin', let me assure you. lol Seriously, probably, since I was...

    Can you help me date this item??

    That sleeve is a 30s thing, and Mouton was super popular in the late 30s. That's my guess! Great find!

    Amy Jeanne, that's fabulous! I love the puffy sleeves! Really awesome pattern, too. I got to wear this outfit I made on Thanksgiving. I can't remember if I posted blouse pics here or not before, but here it is with a skirt I made. I feel very late 30s collegiate in this outfit. :) It's...

    I really wasn't expecting to win either of these, what with the pattern prices going the way they have lately, but I was as pleased at punch that I got them both for inexpensively! :D I'm having all sorts of visions for the 30s one. It's missing instructions, but I don't care.
