This is so exciting that I want to celebrate by sharing my love of vintage patterns with you....I'm giving away one pattern for each decade from the 1930's to the 1970's. All you have to do to enter is be a follower of this blog and leave a comment below by Thursday the 8th of July. I'll announce the winners on Friday the 9th and will ship your pattern to you anywhere in the world!
The patterns in the giveaway are...
From 1938 is McCall pattern #9641 for a jumper or suspender skirt in a size 14 (Bust 32). You all know how much I love McCall and this pattern is no exception. I adore the detail on the back of the suspender skirt:
From the 1940's is this wonderful pattern from Superior Patterns #9780 in a size 20 or 38 Bust. I absolutely love contrast details in vintage patterns--check out the great collar and cuff contrasting opportunities:
Speaking of contrast, the 1950's pattern is Advance #6353 in size 16 or Bust 34. I love the contrasting on this dress, especially view 1. Also check out the trim detail and wing tip cuffs on the short-sleeved version:
Moving right along to the 1960's and Simplicity #4355 with a one-piece va-va-voom dress and boat neck coat. This is a size 16 or Bust 36. The epitome of the 1960's look. I love the detail on the dress collar:
And from the 1970's is this amazing Simplicity shirt #8299 in size 12 or Bust 32. If you've never ventured into vintage sewing before, never fear...this is a "how to sew pattern" that includes a tissue lesson-chart on how to set in sleeves. I absolutely love the large collars, the buttoned cuffs and the slightly billowy sleeves. View 1 even includes an ascot tie:

Congratulations, sweetiepie! I'm glad you've taken to this and found such a supportive community.
ReplyDeletePlease don't enter me in the drawing, though, bunny.
Much love,
David
Congrats on your 100 followers! The 1930s one is lurrrvely - please enter me into that draw! Oh and go on then, how can I resist the 1960s? I'll try my luck for that beauty too! x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on having 100 followers! I'd love to win any of those patterns!
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous is that '50's dress! (I wish I had the kind of head for one of those Juliette caps too)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the milestone! (but don't enter me in the draw either - postage to the other side of the world is waayyy too expensive!)
Congratulations on 100 followers. I bet you have at least that many who just read because you're blog is good! Is it greedy of me to want to win all of your patterns? ;-) or should we just say I'd like to enter for all to increase my chances of winning something? Yeah, that sounds better. LOL
ReplyDelete100 followers! That's great, but not surprising. I love your blog - and I don't even sew! Just love collecting old patterns - and these are all wonderful. What a kind gesture...
ReplyDeleteI will take myself out of the running for this drawing, though. I'd rather have the patterns go to someone who is going to do more than just look at the pretty envelope!
Congratulations on reaching this milestone! Personally I love your blog so I'm not surprised so many others do too!
ReplyDeletePlease can I be entered for the Advance 6353. I love the 40's and my sewing skills are non-existent enough to ensure I can't resize ... yet.
Congrats! I'd like to toss my hat into this drawing. Of course, I'd like to win all of them as I am just getting into vintage sewing. But I truly adore Superior 9780 and Advance 6353
ReplyDeleteAngela

Please consider me for the 1938 suspender skirt - I'm a B32 and a huge fan of suspender skirts!
