Sewing Patterns
Vintage sewing patterns can be so much fun! A great way to add a vintage look and style to your wardrobe in just the right size, color and fabric for you.I have had a lot of fun bringing you this selection of patterns from many different eras - starting with about 1910 all the way to more modern times. There is a nice smattering from all of the major manufacturers like Vogue, McCalls, Butterick and Simplicity. Let us not forget some of the older, no longer around manufacturers and mail order companies like Anne Adams, Hollywood and Kate Marchbanks.Patterns which are not uncut and still in factory folds, have all been checked and counted. Usually, one of a kind with only the occasional duplicate in stock. I am always adding new stock, so check back often.

They are also full of other information too like the attachments, presser feet, sewing techniques.

Also, other orphaned manuals for the various attachments, buttonholers and gizmos made through the years.
