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.

This fabric is a rayon crepe that I bought while in Copenhagen a year and a half ago. I bought three pieces of fabric from Stoff & Stil while I was there and have been hoarding them for just the right projects. The fabric is really easy to work with and presses well. The fabric also has a nice drape which works well with this pattern.

This November and December, I’m featuring four Winter patterns—2 are regular pdf patterns and 2 are drafting manuals that will teach you how to draft the patterns to your personal measurements. 🧵 1 Quilted Slippers This is one of my m
