They're quite a learning experience!! I'll post them on here when they're done.

I also just bought this on my lunchbreak because I am weak. Weak for buttons. WEAK.

I have been drooling over that pattern for a while.
Another Hat Pattern

And this pattern which is similar to a McCall's pattern that I recently purchased and made up. This dress won't slowly choke me to death though and that's a big plus.

I also purchsed 7 patterns from a lady on craig's list. I will post them soon.
I need to stop visiting this thread. You all are fueling my pattern additction. I really should stop as I can't even sew that well.

Ouch! That hurts...
I was hoping that maybe it was just the artist's creative way of using an orphaned envelope, (I see lots of those at estate sales) but upon reading the listing I see it's not. Ouch.

 

[Amy Jeanne]

I don't like that kind of stuff either, but what can ya do [huh]

I like this:
"a great (and sentimental) way to preserve an original and rare vintage pattern - envelope, directions, and pattern pieces."

What's wrong with *making* what's on the pattern? No better way to preserve it than that, in my opinion.

Grrrr... :rage:
Etsy is a neat place, but it also makes my blood pressure skyrocket sometimes. What people will do to old books, patterns, and other papers is quite maddening.

You got it bad, girlfriend lol

This one is great. I see the body in wool and the arms in a matching color silk sort of a reverse from the one on the far right

How can you resist? That's a nice, basic wardrobe builder in a good size.

Why are patterns so darn addicting? I SO don't have the time to make these, but they're added to the stash of doom... My consolation for that pattern lot. Most all the 30s ones were missing pieces and that's primarily why I wanted it
