I recently purchased my first vintage sewing patterns! I spent a few days scouring eBay and Craigslist, but didn't really find the perfect lot until a few days ago. It found a sale of 30 patterns from the 1950s and 1960s. I paid about $28, which is was a pretty good deal considering the patterns are actually in my size! I figured if I don't want all of them, I could sell them individually on eBay and possibly even turn a profit if I want. I haven't been able to check them all for completeness, but I really hope to sew at least a few of these this year.
Here are a few of my favorites!

I want to make the version with sleeves, and I love the little bows! |

The buttons on the back are one of my favorites. I might have to learn to do covered buttons! |
I haven't blogged much, but I had a great weekend! I had a fun girls' night out at
Jazz'd and
Bar Bar on Saturday, and a great Sunday movie date to see
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (GREAT film!) and also some delicious Indian food. Today is a lazier day, with a 1st birthday party on the agenda. Then tomorrow I get to babysit that birthday boy while his parents pack up their house for a big move! Busy busy busy, but that's the way I like it. Doesn't it feel good at the end of the day to be all tuckered out and ready for an awesome night of sleep? :)
