I think I posted this in the "Show us your purchases" thread, but I can't remember....at any rate, this is the only patter I own, to date. I bought it because I love the style and it didn't seem that complicated. Now all I need to do it make some copies and take it to my Grandmother's house (after my birthday, when I get my sewing machine - fingers crossed!) so she can show me how to do it!

GOK, I'm in love with your Simplicity 3233, would you mind if I made a copy of that one?? I'd pay for postage for shipping and all that.

No problem MP, I have to do some for LD and CD so it's no trouble to do one for you too. :D

My shocking number of patterns--1930s

A cloudy cold day here in Beantown (and finally some snow!)--a perfect day to look through one's patterns. Here are some of mine--I know I have more that will turn up as I keep organizing.

If anyone wants copies just let me know, I'm happy to share.

I LOVE the coat on the left, can't wait to make it!

I think every vintage seamstress has made the dress on the left, but it's so cute. I need to jump on that bandwagon.

Such wonderful patterns you lucky souls have! All mine are repros.
I do so wish I had another 1940's one, which was aimed at beginners as my only 40's one causes me such troubles!

Yet more patterns...

This weekend I was wracking my brain to remember where I put the rest of my patterns; I couldn't find them anywhere in the house. Turns out I took them to work to copy the instruction sheets. At least they were safe!

Again, copies happily given if desired, just let me know. Enjoy!

Gosh, everyone has such lovely patterns! It's fun seeing them.
I just got this one on ebay. I collect the Mccall ones especially and I had never seen this one before, and it's from one of my favorite years for their patterns, 1942!
