Vintage Patterns

You may have noticed that I've been collecting vintage sewing patterns lately. In the interest of posting more content on my LJ, here are my latest ones.


Early 1940s Dress (Hollywood 1846)



1939 Blouse (McCall 3211) Sadly this one was missing most of its pattern pieces. The advertisement said it was unopened which I took to mean complete, but I was wrong. Oh well, the envelope is still pretty.


A bunch of dresses from the early 1960s. (Simplicity 4298 & 3518, McCall's 6096 & 6473, and Vogue 5236) I love how Jackie O. some of these patterns are!
The 1912 corset is still being worked on. The grommets are all set and the strips for boning channels have been cut and ironed. I ended up cutting out new wider ones. Today I am going to start sewing them on.

These are great! Those first two are particularly fabulous and unusual. . . Very nice!

Wow! All those patterns are awesome, but I think the first one is my favorite.
