5 out of 5 starsThe pattern was in perfect condition. The seller wrapped this very well to assure that it arrived in perfect condition, cardboard for stiffness, and a plastic ziplock bag for water protection. She clearly cared as much as I did that this arrive safely.

I scour the internet as well as Estate Sales, Thrift stores, etc. to find patterns and supplies. I check each item for issues, scan front and back of each pattern, edit front image to make it pretty, research dating, write descriptions and Voila!

Frequently asked questions
Are Sewing Patterns returnable?
Unless you received the wrong pattern or if it was not as described, I cannot accept returns. To request a return, contact me and I will send a printable USPS label to your email address. I will process the refund once I receive the item in the mail.
Gift wrapping and packaging
I carefully package my items before I take them to the Post Office. If you want your item gift wrapped, Contact me. PLEASE MAKE SURE THE SHIPPING ADDRESS IS CORRECT FOR THE GIFT ORDER!
What condition are the patterns in?
It varies. Paper products are prone to showing their age. I do my best to describe my items in the descriptions however, in general, you can expect pattern envelopes to have light staining, crumpled corners, and even a few tears or split seams. Photos of the front and back of the actual pattern that you will receive are included on each listing.
You can also expect pattern pieces to have creases, small cuts, and crumples consistent with previous use - I do NOT iron the patterns! If they are specifically labeled as being factory folded, I have not unfolded them. All of my patterns are suitable for use, but will likely need to be gently pressed with a dry (no steam)iron prior to use.
Custom and personalized orders
AS I do not make the items that I sell, I do not offer custom or personalized items
What if my Item is not as Described?
Contact me PLEASE! I strive for perfection but I am human and I do make mistakes. I will send a return label for you to send it back to me and will process a refund as soon as I receive it. My goal is to only get 5 Star reviews from my customers. This has become more important since Etsy now dings sellers for anything Less than 5-stars. If you don't feel that you can give a 5-star review, contact me and I will do what I can to make you happy!
