An Amazing 1930's Pattern Collection

Anna, owner and creator of MrsDepew vintage and reproduction patterns, has been collecting Simplicity S-series patterns. I know that I as well as other members of the Pattern Patter team have been able to help Anna grow her collection of the S-Series. Well, now she has the ultimate resource for dating those patterns! Although it's in shabby condition, the illustrations inside are amazing. 

She now needs only three more to complete the collection. S603, S607, and S608.  To read the full post, go to Anna's Blog; 

A Few Threads Loose. 

S607 and S603, Two of the ones needed 

            S608 - The other one she needs! 

Can you help Anna complete the collection? Whether you can or not, stop by her amazing blog and her shop full of the most beautiful lingerie patterns.

Featured Shop: Vintage Needle Finds

Hello, my name is Debora and my shop is VintageNeedleFinds, which I opened June 6, 2012. I have been married for over 3 decades to a very wonderful soul mate. We have a son and I have three wonderful step children (adults actually) who have given me a growing extended family with 7 grandchildren and two wonderful great grandchildren. We live in North West Georgia at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I started sewing as a child in my grandmother’s interior design business, which helped me to develop the discipline and focus needed to sew. However, I did not share the love of interior design and I eventually moved toward fashion.

The area of Georgia where we live is rich in history and has many local historical events. I started creating costumes about 10 years ago for local clients who attend the many historical events in the area. I am semi-retired but still do work with a few clients throughout the year. My personal focus in sewing is the Art Deco era from around 1920 though the 1940's.

I created my shop to find loving homes for my rather large collection of vintage and
antique patterns.  I love having them but knew that I wouldn't be able to take them with me! I was drawn to Etsy because of the vast amounts of beautiful patterns available from sellers from all over the world and I knew this was where I wanted to be. There are times when I love being the teacher and then there are times I rather be the student.  If I had to offer any advice to someone interested in sewing vintage it would be to try it. You can find reference material at your local library, many vintage sewing blogs on the web and there are many wonderful shops here on Etsy that offer everything you could need from fabrics to buttons and patterns and of course have fun!

Which Bride Were You?

Which bride were you? Were you the sophisticated bride of the 1940s, the demur bride of the 1950s, the coming of age bride of the 1960s, the barefoot hippie bride of the 1970s, or the new wave bride of the 1980s? Perhaps you were the modern bride of the 1990s and 2000s?

From Atomic Redhead

 Did you keep it simple or go all out? Did you spend hours primping or walk down the isle with beach hair? No matter what you did or how you did it...every bride is beautiful...even the bride of Frankenstein had her attributes...because as we know, brides always look beautiful, their beauty lies not in their attire, but in the warm glow of love that radiates from their faces. Enjoy these bridal fashions from times gone by...
