Show us your vintage patterns!

[Inky]

thank you all for the feedback on the "palm tree" apron/dress! at least knowing you all love it justified it's purchase, lol.

I can't wait to get it and do some embroidery and whip out the rick rack - this one may need my immediate attention!

 

[Joie DeVive]

Great blouse! I love the gingham version!

I may get rid of the middle pattern as I don't think it will be flattering on me.

I own the one on the left, and I love it. I hope you do too.
If you do decide to get rid of that middle one, please let me know. I think I would be interested in it.

The patterns above were left to me by my Grandma, I have just scanned these in tonight! A little bit later era than alot of the other patterns here but I thought I would share!

 

[Sickofitcindy]

Parfait,
Your grandma had good taste in patterns! I'd definitely snap those up if I saw them for sale.

I haven't bought anything in a looooooooog time.
I was excited when I made out the faint '50' on the envelope, and hoped no one else could see it, because the seller listed the size as '36-50'.
BUT, some one asked a question, correcting them and pointing them to the actual size on the envelope :rage:
But no one else bid, and I got it for $10.
But I Think Im done with eBay for a long time. Im sick of paying 30% in addition to the purchase price for shipping. Its just getting crazy.

The riding breeches and jacket pattern is amazing. Never seen one like that before!

The person I bought them from showed me a photo of his mother wearing them all made up in the 40s - it was pretty amazing

Cute! I love pleated skirt patterns - but I never actually want to make them.

 

[Quixoticlio]

I love that first dress Amy Jeanne!

I recently bought these:

Now to learn how to sew properly!

These are all so lovely and stylish. I have special admiration for those of you who can make things from them; I also have special admiration that in the illustrations, the models' waists are the same size as their necks.
