Notions Department: Sewing patterns

Since we are in the 'Notions Department" I thought I would share a few vintage patterns from my collection.

I have a crap ton of old patterns.  Most of them I buy for the cover art.

I also buy some for particular features I like.

I love those big angled pockets with a flap!

I like the scrunchy midsection on this one.

Love the sheer open skirt apron deal.  

This one is my favorite!  It is a really old pattern, one of those with no markings or print on the pieces.  Once I can figure out how to size it a bit larger I want to make this outfit (sans the midriff).  maybe I could add one of those scrunchy midsection deals from that Butterick pattern!



This post is part of a long series I am doing that showcases ads and products from old pharmacies and 5 and Dime stores.  All of the ads are scans from the publication Chain Store Age September 1955.  The products photographed are from my personal collection.  I am running this series on auto-post so I can work on some projects around my real house.  I will return at the end of this series (April or May) back to "normal".
