A Piece of the Past

Vintage sewing patterns are one of my favorite things. I have managed to accumulate over 1000 patterns. I collect them and sell some of the ones I can part with. I like to imagine the history behind each one and sometimes wonder how did this really great pattern go uncut for 50 years!!! Some are still in factory folds. Others have been well-loved and used but are still usable today. There are many sites available for resizing vintage patterns. I have opened a website on ecrater and hope you can stop by for a visit. www.peachlanepatterns.ecrater.com. I will try to post a few pictures to get an idea of some of my great finds. They make great eye candy,too!!
