Add to the vintage pattern Wiki!

[Idledame]

This is a wiki page of vintage patterns sorted by type, year and company with areas for comments, photos etc.
http://vintagepatterns.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
So many "Fedorables" sew from vintage patterns, they would be the ideal participants to show photos of the finished outfits, comment on the directions, sizes, etc. Also, if you're looking for a specific pattern there are sources for some of them.

Are you soposed to add your comments on the pattern on that page or only a link to your review elsewhere?

 

[MissAmelina]

I think you can do either, but I am not sure......

I have been looking at my boxes and baskets of patterns and feeling guilty for weeks because I feel I have a responsibility to post them on that wiki---it has been a very helpful tool to find new ideas (and temptations!) and I am glad those ladies put it together so we can document our delicious finds.

The next rainy day, my scanner and I are going to town.

I have posted several on there. It's a good site for trolling though styles and getting dating ideas.
Here's a few that I've added with pics of things made up:

Ha. No worries. I haven't added much since last year, so I'm sure I'll be totally lost when I get up the gumption to add stuff again. lol

 

[Lady Day]

How on earth do you add? I know I have some that aren't on there. I signed in with my Facebook account and see nothing that says I can add something?

 

[Lady Day]

They have always been kinda weird about the adding of pages, IMO. At the add a page link at the top, some templates will come up. At the bottom of the list is the template for patterns. Just click it and go from there.
