My tiny pattern stash

As part of the Vintage Pattern Pledge, I thought I would show you my small collection of vintage patterns. (I also have a lot of reissued Vintage Vogue and others but I really prefer working with the real thing, even if it means I have to resize.)

These are from my mom.

Vogue 8114

Vogue 9259
These I bought in a local thrift/antique store


McCall 7260

Simplicity 4650

These I bought on line

Advance 5909

Marian Martin 9154

Simplicity 2926
And that's it!

I'll be looking for more patterns online as the mood strikes. But I have to really really love them to bring them home.

Image-foo

Well, this is disturbing.

I return to my blog after a summer, fall, and part of winter away and find that many images are missing.

I will replace them soonish. And I'll update this post when I've replaced all the broken links. All the broken images are fixed, except for one blog post. I can't find those images. I will search my phone and tablet and see if I can find them there.

I've pledged to make 5 garments from vintage patterns this year, as part of the Vintage Sewing Pattern Pledge, over on A Stitching Odyssey. See the badge in the sidebar.

And I've pledged to BLOG about them. At which I stink.
