Original Vintage Patterns, Larger Sizes, Great Design
All my patterns are original and uncut or complete. They have each been carefully checked (and counted if cut). Occasionally a pattern is so wonderful I will offer it despite a small issue, but this is the exception and always clearly indicated.
I focus on patterns that are at least a 34" bust, but if the design is awesome, I can't resist smaller sizes too. I price smaller sizes more affordably since they require modification for many of us. If you are lucky enough to fit a vintage size 12, god bless you. May your closet overflow.
I learned to sew at home, watching my mother carefully cut out patterns and fabric with her heavy pinking shears on our tile kitchen counter. Somehow she was able to cut both the pattern and the fabric at the same time and not mess up. I'm not that brave. I lost my mom a long time ago, and sewing keeps me feeling connected to her.

I find my patterns at estate sales and flea markets all across the U.S. (It's not unusual for me to purchase an additional bag for my return flight!) I have been selling patterns, costumery, vintage fashion, and textiles since college. I also work as a professional filmmaker.
