A lot has changed everywhere! Are you doing more sewing at home? I hope so! </div><div><br /></div><div>Would you like to add listings to the Vintage Patterns Wiki? A lot has changed there, too! My previous tutorials are less than helpful these days. So I thought I would write you a new one!</div><div><br /></div><div>Here's my previous ones: (Note: They are not entirely accurate now but may still be useful)</div><div><br /></div><div>* <a href="http://patternpatter.blogspot.com/2016/09/lets-add-links-to-vintage-sewing.html" target="_blank">Adding Links to the Vintage Pattern Wiki</a> (Part 1)<br /></div><div>* <a href="http://patternpatter.blogspot.com/2017/01/lets-add-patterns-to-vintage-pattern.html" target="_blank">Adding Patterns to the Vintage Pattern Wiki</a> (Part 2)<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>While adding links is more or less the same (I'll go over what's changed), adding patterns is a LOT different. It's become more labor intensive, but it is really NOT very much more complicated. This is going to be a LONG tutorial, but I'm sure you can get something out of it.</div><div><br /></div><div>First things first: This is written for people using the CHROME browser in WINDOWS on a PC. I don't know if it will work the same in every other browser, or with other operating systems. I do not recommend using a phone or a tablet to do this. I recommend you use a PC. </div><div><br /></div><div>I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS FOR COMPLETE COMPUTER BEGINNERS. If this looks too scary for you, well, I still believe you can do it, but maybe practice a little first. :) If you have used and made edits to the Wiki before, you can probably do this no problem.</div><div><br /></div><div>The first step is to make sure the pattern you want to add isn't already in the wiki. If it is, well, you don't need to add it! Let's go over again how to do that.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJJAzoqcOKTYmkR_y81TOyiUNg04bbuArAVaup53Nq38o6Dbz84fhmdUWhBHBHbzcD_QodqFQ868Ztj6QtCJKYeOxu9hjXrbMG0UVwwl6T_D43sh3BvGnlYeqZ2dYL3m12MWYadwmnoOc/s726/add+listing+lesson+107.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="259" data-original-width="726" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJJAzoqcOKTYmkR_y81TOyiUNg04bbuArAVaup53Nq38o6Dbz84fhmdUWhBHBHbzcD_QodqFQ868Ztj6QtCJKYeOxu9hjXrbMG0UVwwl6T_D43sh3BvGnlYeqZ2dYL3m12MWYadwmnoOc/w640-h228/add+listing+lesson+107.png" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>First, load the Wiki.

Most agree cocktail dresses reached their height in the 1950s. After the end of World War II, a surge in the popularity of "at-home" cocktail parties created the need for women to have a short dress suitable for more formal occasions - in essence, a short version of an evening gown. Dior is said to have first coined the phrase "cocktail dress" in the late 1940s. </div>

French designers released cocktail-specific dresses. Less expensive ready-to-wear dresses were eagerly embraced by American women. A great many sewing patterns for cocktail dresses were also produced in the 1950s. High fashion was now available to everyone.</div>

There are two main cocktail dress styles: the bouffant skirt dress and the sheath dress. The full skirted dresses were always worn with a petticoat or two. The sheath dresses were slim around the body. The hourglass silhouette of both styles required the wearing of bullet bras, waist-cinchers, corselets and girdles.</div>

By the mid-1960s, formal dress for cocktail parties began to give way to more casual attire. By the late 60s - 1970s, hostesses wore a "hostess dress" - a full length dress with a simpler design than those of the 1950s. Hostess dresses are sometimes called patio dresses as cocktail parties moved outdoors.</div>

Can't sew, you say?<br />
<br />
It can be disheartening to be a beginner at anything. Your eyes and taste are far above your skill set. You want that killer bombshell cocktail dress. For beginners, many patterns are too difficult. Recognize that your ability is limited but will improve.<br />
<br />
Nowadays we have the internet where many blogs, tutorials and sew-alongs are available. Pattern companies also offer help - the last time I was at a pattern store, I noticed the Simplicity help sign. To start with, pick a simple project, such as a pillow. Back when girls had to take Home Ec, their project was an apron. Both are easy to make and you don't need a pattern.<br />
<br />
Make it your goal to learn at least one new skill with your projects. If your pillow seams are not straight, practice again. Each completed project will give you confidence to add a new skill. It can be discouraging at first. If you find yourself in over your head, don't give up. The old adage "practice makes perfect" truly does apply. You need to be realistic and accept some failures.<br />
<br />
Use those failures as a stepping stone to your goal - that bombshell dress! Until you reach that level, select "Easy-to-Sew" patterns. Bear in mind that many, if not most, vintage patterns assumed our grandmothers and great-grandmothers knew how to sew and to sew well. Beginning about 1950 - 1960, companies began to include more simplified instructions with more diagrams. Also, a great many vintage patterns are made of pre-cut, plain tissue with letters or piece names punched into each piece. This can be overwhelming to new sewer. Add this goal to your list.<br />
<br />
I overhead an excellent tip at an estate sale recently. A mother and her teenage daughter were browsing the sewing items and the mom reached for a large bag of sewing notions. She turned to her daughter, who had an armload of fabric, and told her that she should use some of the zippers and oddly cut pieces of fabric as practice. What a thrifty idea - bags of sewing notions and fabric (usually not vintage) are easy to find at sales as well as at thrift stores and are generally low priced.<br />
<br />
Fabric panels are often easy to sew. At back to school time, many early childhood teachers buy school-themed fabric and make chair covers for their students. These covers are rectangles and again, require no pattern. Seasonal panels are also available. Make a door decoration, wall hanging, banner or holiday pillow. As your skill improves, graduate to other panels. Christmas panels are already out at Hobby Lobby. Most of these contain easy to follow directions.<br />
<br />
By taking incremental steps, you can teach yourself to sew. Think of it as going to school - you build on prior knowledge as you pass through the grades. Remember to use the vast resources of the internet to help you if you have no seamstress to call upon.<br />
<br />
The Pattern Patter Team on etsy.com offers a wide variety of patterns for beginners to experienced sewers.<br />
<br />
Here is a small sampling of the many Easy-to-Sew patterns offered by our Professional Pattern Sellers. All of the patterns we offer have been checked for completeness so you may shop with confidence.<br />

It's been decades since movie theaters asked ladies to remove their hats. Hats are lovely and add a special touch to an ensemble.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hats have been worn since the time of the ancient Egyptians. For hundreds of years, a modest woman would cover her head. However, over the decades, the wearing of hats has diminished. There are still many religious groups whose female members wear head coverings. The come-as-you-are to church philosophy is not embraced by all and ladies continue to wear "church clothes" which includes a hat. Members of royalty also wear hats in public. Hats are seemingly mandatory at horse races such as the Kentucky Derby and Steeplechase.</div>

Hey all!!<br />
<br />
It's been a while, I know! You ever have one of those days? Or one of those weeks? Or .. one of those months?<br />
<br />
Yeah, we all do. That's neither here nor there though, let's get on with a blog entry!<br />
<br />
I thought it might be fun to roll through the decades and see what kind of fun patterns our Pattern Patter Team members have available from every decade. Won't that be interesting?<br />
<br />
I think so. Let's get going!<br />
In the 1920s the sewing pattern industry was really getting going. Patterns had been available for decades before, but new trends in fashion plus new innovations in sewing patterns made it easier than ever to sew for yourself. You really could have the height of Paris fashion for a much cheaper cost. I'm just speculating here but since more ladies were working in offices and such they may have had more money to spend on things like clothes.<br />

<br />The 1920s are usually considered pretty glamorous (not to mention a total and absolute change from almost everything that ever came before!) However, this sedate little number shows that style could be simple too. This unbranded pattern is available from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/384388144/on-sale-1920s-loose-fitting-pullover">Retroactive Future</a> and is on sale!</div>

<br />These two patterns from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/KinseySue">Kinsey Sue</a> are somewhat similar, with a shoulder drape. However, the Butterick pattern is slightly more complicated with it's bias cut and asymmetrical neckline which mirrors the asymmetrical flounce at the bottom.<br />

<br />A new addition to my personal collection, this 1920s Butterick advertising sign features lively prints and delicate pleating. The nautical collar on 1214 is an interesting touch. Though the lines are straight the amount of ruffles and bows adds femininity.<br />

Though the lines of the 20s seem simple at first glance, look at the complicated lines of this pattern from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/266358019/1920s-original-aust-home-journal-8376?">Sew As It Was Patterns</a>. Again with a somewhat nautical collar, but the lines down the front are incredibly interesting! You don't usually see patterns this complicated these days.

Costume parties were big business in the 1920s, with costumes made both of fabric and crepe paper. This Ladies Home Journal catalog from my personal collection features masquerade costumes only, for men, women, and children. All the major pattern companies had their own masquerade catalogs, including Vogue and Weldon's.</div>

Hello pattern fans!<br />
<br />
Here comes another addition of our tutorial series. Maybe you read our last article about <a href="http://patternpatter.blogspot.com/2016/09/lets-add-links-to-vintage-sewing.html">ADDING LINKS</a> to the <a href="http://vintagepatterns.wikia.com/">Vintage Pattern Wikia.</a><br />
<br />
Now it's time to step up and learn how to add a whole new pattern entry. You can do it, I believe in you!<br />
<br />
Again, this is for the CHROME browser, I don't know if it will work the same in every other browser, but it should be similar. I recommend using a PC and not your phone or tablet.<br />
<br />
Let's get started.<br />
<br />
Okay, the first step is to make sure that the pattern isn't already in the Wiki. (For more information on that, please see <a href="http://patternpatter.blogspot.com/2016/09/lets-add-links-to-vintage-sewing.html">the previous tutorial.</a>) Once you've confirmed the pattern doesn't already exist, it's time to add it yourself!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRBZtixfUv1t6W7m7191YYaq4SwMJiA8sGkKuMusz_8wL7tIQqI-Rzkpo-SABWjBpfMILRPVtQCyWED19AOzYvx3IGVBXzrS1H8nHWwq-FO2DZ_ka94aDxxyHd9Qsl-__aa1NHkfXS2jU/s1600/adding+a+pattern+101.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRBZtixfUv1t6W7m7191YYaq4SwMJiA8sGkKuMusz_8wL7tIQqI-Rzkpo-SABWjBpfMILRPVtQCyWED19AOzYvx3IGVBXzrS1H8nHWwq-FO2DZ_ka94aDxxyHd9Qsl-__aa1NHkfXS2jU/s640/adding+a+pattern+101.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
In the above case, Vogue 8449 and Vogue 8449 A were not the pattern for which I was looking. So, I needed to make "Vogue 8449 B" and add the pattern myself. First off, click on "Create article [Your Pattern Name]"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgreoTfQfq7tJoKhEMRsL2_q1SBvvc3c6mMADwRVkdWqsZb5rx1LNniPrbJBN7ik46j3LaPZDvrMhSK19pwI-LUYaXZEkKEIQn26fSR2wcWseWqAeoKO_1IiHYwpmFzHB-zP39WvzT92ws/s1600/adding+a+pattern+102.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgreoTfQfq7tJoKhEMRsL2_q1SBvvc3c6mMADwRVkdWqsZb5rx1LNniPrbJBN7ik46j3LaPZDvrMhSK19pwI-LUYaXZEkKEIQn26fSR2wcWseWqAeoKO_1IiHYwpmFzHB-zP39WvzT92ws/s640/adding+a+pattern+102.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
That will pop up a window that looks like the one above. You want to start with adding a photo. Click "Add a photo."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqNRyGxma-1OLpsnLe_gkdx8690eHnk6cT0nJujKcQF7XUKNO3QnNbwHpDGkkgDK9dJEzR7TebMVUYbihdtxWBC06YMwagOu69dNXAwGWIA7asjH0zO1jMm6q9P7ld-fG7yBHbaDmBt_s/s1600/adding+a+pattern+103.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqNRyGxma-1OLpsnLe_gkdx8690eHnk6cT0nJujKcQF7XUKNO3QnNbwHpDGkkgDK9dJEzR7TebMVUYbihdtxWBC06YMwagOu69dNXAwGWIA7asjH0zO1jMm6q9P7ld-fG7yBHbaDmBt_s/s640/adding+a+pattern+103.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Click "Choose File" and select your picture of the pattern. It shouldn't be sized too large. Also, give it a unique name, so it won't have the same name as any other photo in the library. If it does conflict, it will tell you, make sure you don't write over anyone else's photo.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwaZ4dBvYryyQj_KUwxjhk-3XeW3V7jQHP-2gmjTTIjDjKWUIJiq0lBBHjxhjfWyWJH4GEA0pjnmxciB8qeYnuKKbcmTePlI-TWrr_En6tES3KlI1Df0BWp0lSCtk8PK_lzR_G4Uj-CLA/s1600/adding+a+pattern+104.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwaZ4dBvYryyQj_KUwxjhk-3XeW3V7jQHP-2gmjTTIjDjKWUIJiq0lBBHjxhjfWyWJH4GEA0pjnmxciB8qeYnuKKbcmTePlI-TWrr_En6tES3KlI1Df0BWp0lSCtk8PK_lzR_G4Uj-CLA/s640/adding+a+pattern+104.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
After you've selected your file, click "Upload."<br />

An "uploaded photo" page will pop up. Size the photo to 350 pixels. You can type it in, or use the slider. Then click the dot to make sure the pattern picture gets aligned on the left. Then click "Add photo."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiilLaDp4m9j75tVlySiz-d4NZZWphFqNbZlPLuKHo1C10FBIas0_4Sl2vl5hdw1VUlAEIlBmPnki0Cctp-JNdkgWhd-u0I8FiiyUTPERi4RaFCWIXbatlKTMJNNNhmWjU8u1b2yg1Q4UQ/s1600/adding+a+pattern+107.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="403" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiilLaDp4m9j75tVlySiz-d4NZZWphFqNbZlPLuKHo1C10FBIas0_4Sl2vl5hdw1VUlAEIlBmPnki0Cctp-JNdkgWhd-u0I8FiiyUTPERi4RaFCWIXbatlKTMJNNNhmWjU8u1b2yg1Q4UQ/s640/adding+a+pattern+107.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
After you upload the photo, it will appear in the main Wiki listing editing page. The little green thing there is a "notice." It instructs you to switch to "source mode" which will make it easier to carefully edit the listing. Click on "source" in the tab to the upper right.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCxB-xo2MeoV8sEzpHD5AQYMBpA0UvG9NJvFOIvh3HV71LdodGnrCzBtTX6_drWva-XCBNvp_-ziNQDmFMPGVk8xU4OlHIvdkyZsQF4aSLMFLxopIouEsLmslvV411vXVmUy94qYB9WOs/s1600/adding+a+pattern+108.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCxB-xo2MeoV8sEzpHD5AQYMBpA0UvG9NJvFOIvh3HV71LdodGnrCzBtTX6_drWva-XCBNvp_-ziNQDmFMPGVk8xU4OlHIvdkyZsQF4aSLMFLxopIouEsLmslvV411vXVmUy94qYB9WOs/s640/adding+a+pattern+108.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This is what "source mode" looks like. It looks a little intimidating, but don't be afraid!<br />
<br />

<br />
Okay, we have to do a lot of things here. First, you can delete the notice. Just backspace over it or highlight it and delete it. See the [[File...]] part? That's the code that is your pattern picture. Write the description of the pattern directly under that piece of code.<br />
<br />
The method the Wiki likes to use is "[Pattern Brand Name] [Pattern Number]; ," followed by ca. [Pattern date]; followed by [Pattern Title] and [Pattern Description] (Don't type the brackets.) If you don't know the exact date, just put "1950s", or "1960s." If the pattern has a date on it, put that date.<br />
<br />
Read some other pattern listings to get a feel for the format.<br />
<br />
Since we aren't adding links to blogs or shops here, you can remove the parts next to the pink asterisks. Make sure you don't delete the headings. <br />
<br />
You can ignore everything else.<br />
<br />

Here's what it looks like after I typed in my description. See how I added the description? Also, note how I deleted the links to blogs/vendors.<br />
<br />

If everything looks good, you can move on. Adding a few categories is usually a good idea. "Vintage Sewing Pattern" is in every entry. You should also use the brand of the pattern as a tag, and the year or decade it was made. The category suggestions will pop up as you type. You don't need to add too many categories. A moderator will add more to make sure everything gets put in the right place. Of course, if you think a category should be added that doesn't already exist, go ahead and add it, but don't be offended if a moderator removes it.<br />

And that's that!<br />
<br />
A couple of things:<br />
<br />
- If you mess up, don't freak out... a moderator can probably fix something if you can't figure it out.<br />
- I know it looks intimidating, but after a few tries it will be second nature.<br />
- Be careful not to add a pattern that already exists.<br />
- Remember not to add any patterns that are from after about 1990.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions, I can try to help, but I'm no expert! I hope you'll give it a try, as the Wikia is such a great resource for us all.<br />

I know it's been a while since we've updated around here! Things have been pretty hectic the last several months so I apologize.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I thought I might do a fun post off interesting and fun patterns from the <a href="http://vintagepatterns.wikia.com/">Vintage Patterns Wiki</a>, that have a Christmas or holiday theme.<br />
<br />

<br />There must have been dozens of these "felt appliqued stocking" patterns over the years. If you go to enough flea markets and antique shops you will see some old ones for sale and maybe even guess which pattern was used to make them!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's a bunch more, all really cute. I especially like <a href="http://vintagepatterns.wikia.com/wiki/McCall%27s_2271_A">McCall's 2271's</a> cat and dog stockings. Also, team member <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/130031751/1950s-christmas-stocking-hosiery">Kinsey Sue</a> has <a href="http://vintagepatterns.wikia.com/wiki/Simplicity_4519_A">Simplicity 4519</a> in stock if you're interested! <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/166645092/1950s-christmas-craft-pattern-mccalls?">Frisky Scissors</a> also has <a href="http://vintagepatterns.wikia.com/wiki/McCall%27s_2351_A">a similar pattern</a> in stock!<br />
<br />
All of these patterns are somewhat hard to find, as are most patterns from the 1950s these days. They aren't <i>impossible</i> to find though, and turn up with varying frequency, though you can be sure they'll sell in a hot minute if the price is right. Very popular, and why not? Just look at how cute they are!<br />

Halloween is nearly here! I know all of you are busy sewing your special Halloween costumes, so let's take a look at Halloween past!<br />
<br />
I had the luck to find this lovely vintage costume catalog from Ladies Home Journal, circa 1920s:<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Or maybe some loosely-interpreted historical characters are more up your alley? (Dolly Varden is from Dickens, so she's fictional!)</div>

There were also many child-size costumes included in the catalog.. very sweet ideas<br />
<br />

More child-sized or teen-sized costumes... I didn't know the Campfire Girls had been around so long..<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And that's it!!<br />
<br />
One really interesting thing about this little catalog is that descriptions list not only fabric requirements, but crepe paper requirements, if you should want to make the costume out of paper instead of fabric.<br />
<br />
The fabric requirements are listed with the regular descriptions and pictures, the crepe paper requirements are in the back.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
So, you want to know how to add links to the Vintage Sewing Patterns Wikia, but it seems kind of complicated! Not to worry, I can help. It's not as scary as it seems.<br />
<br />
Let me give you a simple tutorial on adding your pattern link to the Wikia.<br />
<br />
First, of course you have to go to the Vintage Sewing Patterns Wiki at http://vintagepatterns.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page or by clicking <a href="http://vintagepatterns.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page">HERE.</a><br />
<br />
NOTE: These are instructions when using the CHROME browser. I don't know if all of these will work in other browsers, but it should be just about the same.<br />
<br />
It's probably a good idea to have the pattern you want to add opened in one tab, and the Wikia opened in another. Then you can easily flip back and forth between them.<br />
<br />
Next, you want to find the pattern to which you want to add your link.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBWPzIECRywdyGDh2kKuSSyAs_lQJTZQSCmWGuamfvhXLOD_Y-xJpdAJ-Azu0U4fkTaKW2TfmBOwwTQAkeUVbMOjSOY9oBDCgBxDk9zhtHK7ayv3abfqsqWDUvs5IvNnoYLB220y4QIAc/s1600/Wiki+instructions+%2523001+jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBWPzIECRywdyGDh2kKuSSyAs_lQJTZQSCmWGuamfvhXLOD_Y-xJpdAJ-Azu0U4fkTaKW2TfmBOwwTQAkeUVbMOjSOY9oBDCgBxDk9zhtHK7ayv3abfqsqWDUvs5IvNnoYLB220y4QIAc/s640/Wiki+instructions+%2523001+jpg.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
In this case, I was looking for Vogue 1015, a pattern designed by Bill Blass. If a pattern is already in the database, it will pop up. You can highlight either the Vogue 1015 or Vogue 1015 A and hit "Enter," Make sure you use the search bar on the main Wikia homepage.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuiEPNEacxRzcY0dJesK7aYPBBzLLZyrcca96B4CnqbQ1Bh2bZV6HpaE65pBsX6dxVCxod7ufiLiNChgen0-RRsOOzRktF9RFiWbHepFxP1Kssk-b238P04z0JHFx_4NVXz29kcAAHOC0/s1600/Wiki+instructions+%2523001a+jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuiEPNEacxRzcY0dJesK7aYPBBzLLZyrcca96B4CnqbQ1Bh2bZV6HpaE65pBsX6dxVCxod7ufiLiNChgen0-RRsOOzRktF9RFiWbHepFxP1Kssk-b238P04z0JHFx_4NVXz29kcAAHOC0/s640/Wiki+instructions+%2523001a+jpg.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
In this case, Vogue_1015 was the correct pattern I was looking for. But if it wasn't, you can add an "underscore" plus "A" to the end of the address and hit "Enter" again to look at the next entry in the Wikia.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibR3HgCCZJa-a71y3-mExfxbENVwID5v3GIpNz9XXeDcgxZIAfwLbDH7uou6Zni5C7B2j2Gh8OHHPZ3zvAPuaFUNvSEiHjG2jdM9wfFmMH2bt4Yi1-HvX8hsCGYhXhf4lNBTrgvQ1Ovhs/s1600/Wiki+instructions+%2523001b+jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibR3HgCCZJa-a71y3-mExfxbENVwID5v3GIpNz9XXeDcgxZIAfwLbDH7uou6Zni5C7B2j2Gh8OHHPZ3zvAPuaFUNvSEiHjG2jdM9wfFmMH2bt4Yi1-HvX8hsCGYhXhf4lNBTrgvQ1Ovhs/s640/Wiki+instructions+%2523001b+jpg.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
This is me hypothetically typing the "_A" to check the next Wiki article. But since it was the correct entry on the first try, we don't have to do that.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Now in this case, some people have already added links. That's good, because it's easier for you. Put your cursor at the end of the last link, and hit "Enter." This will give you a new line with a new block next to it.<br />
<br />

Now, you want to click on that funny looking button up there. That's the "Add Link" button.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
This new window will pop up. It looks kind of scary, but don't be afraid. You can do this!<br />
<br />
Where it says "Target page or URL" you copy/paste the link to the pattern in your shop.<br />
<br />
Where it says "Text to display" you type the name of your shop.<br />
<br />
Then you need to hit "OK" to save it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLbT53DWfo-lSV6sivsqDrM6lkhgrrEeF0jP7AGEHSDtVu5L0IEIc_qHCcFEipd16RLTYC8EVa5eHPKI0JpBz22tFPCazmwvAPOf_uVHhJoUY84zhw1ScjBrN1heFOre-_ZAfGcDZjfxs/s1600/wiki+instructions+%25236+jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLbT53DWfo-lSV6sivsqDrM6lkhgrrEeF0jP7AGEHSDtVu5L0IEIc_qHCcFEipd16RLTYC8EVa5eHPKI0JpBz22tFPCazmwvAPOf_uVHhJoUY84zhw1ScjBrN1heFOre-_ZAfGcDZjfxs/s640/wiki+instructions+%25236+jpg.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Now, if you want to add a size next to the name of your shop... you can do that now. Don't add it as part of the link, write it after you've added the link. Then when you're done, make sure you hit "PUBLISH" to save it.<br />
<br />
THAT'S IT!!!<br />
<br />
So, we looked at what to do if links are already there.. but what if they aren't? Don't worry, it's not much different.<br />

<br />
<br />
This time, you're going to type in your link manually.<br />
<br />
- First, type an asterisk.<br />
- Next, type a left bracket like this: [<br />
- Then, copy/paste the link to your listing.<br />
- Then, type one space<br />
- Then, type the name of your shop<br />
- Then, type the right bracket like this: ]<br />
<br />
Then, you can hit publish. If you want, before publishing, you can switch back to visual mode by clicking the "Visual" button to check to make sure everything looks okay.<br />
<br />
Either way, make sure you hit "PUBLISH" or it won't save.<br />
<br />
And that's all!!!!<br />
<br />
Later, we'll talk about adding a whole new pattern listing to Wikia. It's a bit more complicated but we'll give it a go, right? :)Nessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00560592169560020750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7383954148045060819.post-79507388690717666602016-09-19T18:06:00.001-07:002016-09-19T18:06:45.565-07:00McCall's Patterns for Skipper - Advertised in Barbie MagazineI've been meaning to do a giant post about how the various pattern companies encouraged young girls to sew for their dolls, and especially their Barbies for a long time!<br /><br />
Unfortunately, that post is still a while away, but I thought you might enjoy seeing these advertisements for McCall's patterns I found in 1960s Barbie Magazines.<br />

I didn't realize this one was a McCall's ad until I looked at the small print. Mattel licensed both with Advance and with McCall's to produce sewing patterns for Barbie, Ken, and Skipper and their friends. These patterns are all very accurate and fit the dolls very well. This one is specifically advertising a Skipper-only pattern, McCall's 7716.</div>

Really cute looks for girls and teens shown here! Which one do you like best? The 60s were such a rollercoaster of a decade... can you see the beginings of the mod look here? (If I tried to paint in that dress, I'd have paint all over my skirt...)<br />

April is already here, though so far I'm not sure it brought Spring with it! We've still been having snow and cold, but let's pretend it's warm, and pretend it is April, 1943. :)<br />
<br />
Here's some lovely looks from that time period, I hope you will enjoy this look back with me.<br />

On the morning of May 26, 1867, after Mrs. C. M. Cazentre
had cleared away the debris from the breakfast shift at her little restaurant
in the mining town of Gold Hill, Nevada, she went to the back room and prepared
to do some sewing. </div>

She unwrapped the gorgeous green silk dress pattern her
husband had bought her a few weeks before from a fellow French expatriate known
as John Millain. It was carefully done up in clean paper now, but when Millain
first brought it into the restaurant to show them, it was clumsily bundled in
dirty, ragged old newsprint. She had asked
Millain, an odd job man who often worked at the laundry down the street, how he
came by the pattern and he had snapped at her.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“None of your business,” he’d said. But then he warmed up
and told her, in animated French, the sad story of his friend, who had died in
a mining accident leaving his widow penniless with four children to feed. Millain
wanted to help the woman, he said, and had offered to try and sell her
expensive dress pattern to get money so she could pay her butcher bill. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The asking price was $60. It was worth that, Mrs. Cazentre had
thought, eyeing the unusual pale green silk flocked with round velvet flowers, but
theirs was not the sort of business that afforded her the luxury of rich silks.
So she sent him up the street to an elegant brothel where, she told him, there were
women who could afford to help the poor widow. But he returned the next day,
not having found any takers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now the asking price was $40 and John Cazentre, seeing how
his wife longed for the lovely pattern, agreed. She had taken the silk and put
it away so she could take her time to think over the cutting and sewing of the
precious fabric. Then came that May morning when, just as she had the pattern
laid out, scissors in hand, two latecomers arrived at the restaurant for a morning
meal. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While she bustled about preparing their order, they fell
into conversation about the infamous murder that had been committed the
previous January in Virginia City. A woman named Julia Bulette, who worked as
an independent prostitute, had been bludgeoned and strangled in her own bed, a
crime that shocked even the often rowdy and rough inhabitants of the town.</div>

The killer had gotten clean away. But there was a Frenchman
now in the city jail for another crime, they said, and it was believed around
town that he was the murderer. Mrs. Cazentre defended her countryman at first. But
they knew him for a thief, the men said. And whoever killed Julia Bulette had
robbed her, too, stolen her jewelry and fancy clothes and furs. And even, they
said, a couple of expensive dress patterns. Mrs. Cazentre grew silent and
argued no further in favor of Millain. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The men finished their breakfast and went on about their
way, but the more she thought about the conversation, the more uneasy she
became. Finally she folded up the green silk pattern and put it away. Then she
made her way to Virginia City and told her story to Judge Jesse Pitzer and the
detective who had been investigating the murder case. Although they had John
Millain in custody for assault upon another young woman, and they believed him
to be connected to Julia Bulette’s murder, they hadn’t a shred of evidence to
work with until they followed Mrs. Cazentre back to Gold Hill and took
possession of the lovely fabric.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At Rosener and Co., the upscale mercantile where Pitzer
believed the pattern had originally been sold, the proprietors both positively
identified the unusual silk. There wasn’t another like it in Virginia City, they
said. In fact, said Sam Rosener, he had been in San Francisco on a buying trip
and purchased the pattern straight off the ship it came in on. It was the only
one of its kind, at least in the distinctive pale green color, in the country
as far as he knew. And he had sold it to Julia just a few weeks before she
died.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From Rosener’s, Judge Pitzer and the detective escorted Mrs.
Cazentre to the city jail, where they asked her to take a look at the prisoner.
Both Mrs. Cazentre and John Millain recognized each other immediately. He
turned pale at the sight of her and she firmly identified him as the man who
had sold her the pattern. Her prized green silk was confiscated as evidence and
would become the focal point of the subsequent murder trial, handled and
carefully examined by a parade of witnesses coming forward to identify it as
having belonged to the murdered woman and having been sold by the accused prisoner.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Other evidence surfaced within a matter of days to connect
Millain to the crime, pieces of the dead woman’s jewelry, her furs and dresses
all found in a trunk he had stored at a friend’s. But it was the silk, which he
had sold and thereby profited from the crime, that elevated the charge to
murder in the first degree.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All the evidence presented against John Millain at the trail
was circumstantial and consisted only of witnesses (beginning with Mrs.
Cazentre) who connected him, over and over again, with items stolen from
Bulette’s cottage that night. Millain protested his innocence, saying he had
been given the things by some men he knew and had no part in the killing. But
it was widely believed that he was the murderer, that he might even have killed
before in San Francisco where the similar murders of two women who worked as
prostitutes remained unsolved, and certainly that he had intended to kill
Martha Camp, whom he had attacked in her cottage late one night, leading to his
initial arrest.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Despite his attorney’s plea for clemency, Millain was
convicted and sentenced to hang. His appeal was denied and the sentence was
carried out, nearly a year to the day after Mrs. Cazentre identified him, in a
gruesome public spectacle attended by Mark Twain, who began his writing career
as a reporter in Virginia City.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Soon after Millain was officially charged with the murder, the
Bulette estate paid out a reward of $200 ‘for the apprehension of’ Julia’s
killer. Who, precisely, received the money was not specified in the record. One
can only hope that it was Mrs. Cazentre, who was brave enough and honest enough
to hand over her beautiful dress pattern and forsake her fashion sense in the
name of justice (she was never compensated for the loss).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As for the pattern itself, after it had been examined many
times by all concerned, the court appeal denied and the murderer hung, it was returned
to Julia Bullette’s estate and sold at auction, where it fetched a price of
$44.00 (about $700 in current value). Now a rather uniquely famous piece of
dress goods, it was one of the first things to go in the sale.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is no record of who bought the pattern in the final
auction—how they made it up or what it looked like when it was finished, or
whether, every time its wearer put it on, she thought about Julia Bulette, who
had loved beautiful clothing and spent a good portion of her earnings on dress
goods, jewelry and furs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If Julia had lived just another year, she would have found
herself in a world where fashion was much more accessible, and much less
expensive than it had ever been before. Ebenezer Butterick’s new tissue paper sewing
patterns, graded to fit your personal size and including instructions, had
become an instant sensation in 1863. Because they put stylish garments in reach
of the everyday seamstress by doing away with cutting to fit and grading one
size patterns, and provided a guide for women who lacked the experience to
create the latest fashions on their own, Butterick’s patterns ignited a fashion
revolution of sorts. The company began with designs for men’s and boy’s
garments but it wasn’t until the middle of 1867, some six months after Julia’s
death, that it launched a full line of patterns for stylish women’s clothing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When Julia died in 1867, the term ‘dress pattern’ usually
referred to a pre-cut length of fabric especially designed to be made up into a
dress. It might have some template
printed on the fabric, but might also be a simple, pre-cut length of dress
goods. It might have special features for the sleeves or bodice woven into the
design, or just be a print or weave especially well suited to the hoop skirt
styles of the times, such as large scale silk plaids. Sometimes the patterns
were sold with preselected trims and notions. </div>

But by the time the now famous green silk dress pattern was
sold at auction in 1868, Butterick’s patterns were a national sensation, changing
forever what home sewers meant when they asked for a ‘dress pattern’.
Butterick’s extensive catalog of designs was available by mail order from the
company headquarters in New York City, and soon the ‘celebrated patterns’ were
available in a shop on Virginia City’s C Street. </div>

I don't know about everyone out there... but I'm currently stuck inside for a while due to a whopping 21 inches of snow dumped by Winter Storm Jonas! Looking out at all snowy weather got me thinking about winter sewing patterns.<br />
<br />
When bundling up for the chilly weather, why not be unique? Why not try a fashionable cape? :)<br />
<br />
They're very in this season and the Pattern Patter Team has a large variety you can choose from. Timeless in style, any era of pattern can be used today and still look up-to-the-minute.<br />
<br />
And of course, when stuck inside... it's always the best time for sewing!<br />
<br />
Let's see what we can find.<br />

Well, the New Year is here and it's 2016! I hope you all have a wonderful New Year. :)<br />
<br />
But let's pretend that it's not 2016... let's go all the way back to January of 1950! The 1940s are over, and a whole new decade is beginning! What will fashion hold? A new prosperity is beginning, and lots of things are changing. This is a real treat, as this booklet is much longer than many of them. I hope you will enjoy this look into the past. Let's open it and see!<br />

These sweet dresses for a junior hint at the incoming full skirt that would be so popular in the 1950s. Note the very fitted waist on 7917, and the sweet gathered shoulders on 7912. Note also the shorter hemlines. I LOVE those big pockets!!</div>

Here's the billowing, tiered-skirt dress seen on the cover. You can make it several ways as you can see... all of them as pretty as can be! This style for dancing will likely never go out of style.. you can still dance the night away in a very similar dress!<br />

The last page is filled with quite a variety of items! Cowboy jodhpur suit for the kiddos, shirred and embroidered dress for tots, ties for the man of the house, and matching novelty BBQ aprons for your summer grilling! Maybe an odd choice for January, but you can never start too early, am I right? I like how the lady's apron has a cute wiener dog motif, while the man's features a pig chef. </div>

Is everybody ready to ring in the New Year, now?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />What will you be wearing? I'll probably be wearing an ugly Christmas sweater and lounge pants, to be honest, but maybe one day I'll go to a party chic enough to wear one of these! :)</div>

Happy New Year!</div>
