Vintage patterns of any description are my passion, I love the history attached to them and the mystery about who has used them before me. I have said it so many times "If only patterns could talk". I also love walking around junk shops and shows looking for them, they are always on the top of my shopping list when we go on holiday. I have had some wonderful finds when holidaying in Florida so fingers crossed I will be lucky this time.
There is no mystery about this little book I am showcasing this week, it is another book from my childhood. A book that would stand the test of time, whilst some of the sewing aids might have changed the general principles of dressmaking I think are just the same.
I used this book to teach my daughters to sew and it is now safely stored for the next generation whenever they are ready.
See you soon.
