4 out of 5 starsBought for my sisters granddaughters so I didn’t make it myself. Pattern simple enough- shipping took longer than I expected.

4 out of 5 starsThe pattern is perfect, exactly as described. Shipping took a full two weeks from the date I purchased to the date it was actually shipped. I also reached out asking when it would be shipped, was told “Monday”, but it didn’t ship until, the Wednesday after that. I wouldn’t have minded had there been any communication from the seller.

1 out of 5 starsDishonest and full of lies! Never delivered and not refunded from them but from Etsy after opening a claim

Unfortunately, I have no control over mis-directed mail. The shipping label had the correct address, USPS decided to send it to some random location. Customer had unrealistic expectations of international delivery times during the holiday season. She opened up a case with Etsy right before Christmas, and they refunded her money before I could respond.

4 out of 5 starsThe item is in good condition and I’m sure it’s a great shop if you live in the USA, but having ordered it to the UK on the 9th of November, I only received it yesterday (26th November) which is a long time. Postage from America also made it very expensive.

I love sewing and vintage patterns. Older sewing patterns are a connection to our past. Some of the fashions never go out of style. My favorite eras are the 1920s flapper, and the fun lines of the 1960s and 70s.

Frequently asked questions
Sizing details
Sewing patterns are not the same size as off the rack clothes. Vintage sewing pattern sizes are different from modern sewing patterns. To make sure you get the correct size pattern, take your bust, hip, and waist measurements with a tape measure. Use those measurements and the sizing information on the pattern envelope (always available in my photos) to choose the correct size.
What is a cut and punched or unprinted pattern?
Vintage sewing patterns, especially those prior to 1950 were not printed like modern patterns. They were pre-cut at the factory and have a series of perforations and punch marks that are used to construct the garment.
This type of pattern is called "cut and punched" by the industry because that is how it was manufactured. A basic knowledge of garment construction and sewing is required. Seam allowances may or may not be included.
There is no printing on the pattern pieces. Pattern pieces are identified with perforated numbers or letters.
Is this a reproduction or copy of a pattern?
All of my patterns are the original patterns from the manufacturer unless I have specified that it is a reproduction or copy.
What is a pattern rating?
Most patterns are rated from very easy to advanced. You should choose a pattern that fits your sewing skills.
VERY EASY
The easiest and quickest patterns to sew. Great for beginner or the experienced sewer with limited time available.
EASY
Easy-to-sew patterns but with more details than the Very Easy category. Perfect for those with limited sewing knowledge or little time.
AVERAGE
These patterns are perfect if you have more time to sew, and more experience sewing. Look for challenging designer techniques, tailoring, unique construction details.
ADVANCED
Perfect for those who like the sewing challenge of professional tailoring and fine couture techniques.

Is this a digital pattern?
My only digital patterns are original crochet patterns that I created and designed. They are not reproductions of older patterns. All digital patterns are clearly marked.
