Limerick Contest Winner!

Hope everyone had a lovely St. Patrick's Day! It's time to announce the voter favorites and the winner!

First in the votes by a long shot was Tina from Cherry Corners:
There once was a girl name of Cherry
Whose spare room was getting quite scary!
There were patterns galore
And she'd just ordered more
A huge lot of Vogue and DuBarry!. 

These two ladies tied for the next slot:
Janet from Vintage Patterns Co1
There once was a sewer so fearless
She only sewed Demorest and Peerless.
With Pictorial Review
She wouldn't make do.
And DuBarry left her quite cheerless.

and Sew Betty and Dot 

Vintage patterns fill boxes and drawers,

Enough to stock ten Etsy stores
Are there maybe too many?
No! Some cost but a penny
We live for those great thrift store scores.

Finally, our Top Five Favorites turned into the Top 8 because you tied all these limericks too!

Mary Beth of RetroMonkeys 
The patterns are packaged for shipping
There are so many they’re slipping
The Postmaster Sighs
As the pile is high
The Post Office counter is tipping!

Tony and Joyce of Filecutter

An Irish Lass A Seamstress Fair
Made Shamrocks for her hair 
She Stitched and Weaved
That Thread so Tight
Everyone Knew the Lass on Sight


Ginny from Leah's HeartI really do like to be sewing
and my pattern supply is still growing.
I jump out of bed
for my needle and thread
My creative juices have started flowing!

So with paper and fabric and pins
my work with the pattern begins
I measure and write
all through the night
I must get this done for the twins!
My project is now complete
I tried hard to make it look neat.
I cut the loose thread - 
and it's now on my bed -
and the dresses are simply sew sweet!

Sew Betty and Dot
My husband can’t hear the TV
He blames this dilemma on me
Pattern pieces, they rustle
As I refold and tussle
“More factory folds!” is his plea.

A big Thank YOU to all who participated in the writing and voting! Thanks to your effort we had a fun time and created a few laughs! It was hard picking my favorite from all of these but the winner of the the first Pattern Patter Limerick Contest is Tina of Cherry Corners who so accurately rhymed the sickness all us pattern sellers/collectors face! If only we could find such an amazing pattern lot!
Congratulations, Tina! You have won an amazing surprise package full of goodies dear to our pattern loving hearts. You will be contacted soon with more details.

Until next time, Happy Sewing Everyone!

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...
