Announcement    Patty's Past Times, Offering Vintage Sewing Patterns, Vintage & Antique Books, Vintage Household Items and Collectibles.

Hi! Welcome to Patty's Past Times! Nearly all things here are old and charming. Vintage and antique items are pre-owned/ USED. Due to age and prior use they will have some wear and patina. If you are looking for items that are new you will not find them in my shop. I fully disclose the condition of each item in the description and in the photos.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE read the full description and look at all photos in the listing before buying. If you have any questions about an item please ask before buying. I'm happy to answer questions about anything I've got in my shop. I answer all questions within 24 hours.

All of the vintage sewing patterns offered for sale here are original, pre owned, paper patterns. I do not sell PDF patterns. The first, and possibly one more, photo in my listings has typically been edited, just because I love photo editing. Other than those one or two, all other images are scans of the pattern as it actually is.

I do not haggle prices of items in my shop, or accept offers on items. I feel that my prices are set fair to begin with. I do however run sales from time to time. Thank you for understanding.

On the items that I have listed with free shipping the shipping method is at my, the seller's, discretion. I always package well and very securely. I typically ship books using Media mail, Book Rate, U.S.P.S.. I have done this for years and have never had any problem with it.

I ship within 2 business days, at most. I have tracking put on every item that I ship out. That tracking number can be checked for the status of your package as it's in route to you. If you have questions or concerns please contact me about it I will do my best to help you figure things out.
