VIDEO A peek inside my vintage sewing pattern collection

In today’s video, I’m giving you a peek inside my vintage sewing pattern collection. (You will want to grab a cup of tea or coffee before you start watching because my collection is big and this is a long video packed with eye candy.) I’ve loved vintage patterns for as long as I’ve been sewing. I don’t actually sew with them a lot but they are a huge source of inspiration for me. I love looking at the fashion design from decades past as well as the graphic design of the patterns themselves. If you like vintage patterns too, make sure to watch the video and if you would like to add some to your personal collection make sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for an exciting shop update.

DIY Roundup – 10 Retro Summer Sewing Patterns

One of the best things about sewing is that you are not beholden to what you can find in the stores and you can create any style you want–even something vintage. As I mentioned in my post earlier this week with my DIY Retro Check Top, the big pattern companies have been re-releasing more vintage patterns of late. And because I like to share, I've rounded up 10 easy to find retro patterns that are perfect for the summer season.
