Another post here inspired by Vintage May, see my previous post about my vintage sewing machine collection. This time it's women's vintage sewing patterns. A couple of years ago when my mother passed away, I inherited all of her sewing patterns, I think that there were about 80, & here are some of my favorites. Some vintage eye candy for you today ~ enjoy !
FYI, when dating vintage sewing patterns, I found these websites helpful:
