Sometimes it's far more fun to sew something from another time.

Sometimes it's even more fun to update retro fashion or make it a little differently to suit your taste.

And sometimes the only thing you can do with that totally awesome vintage yardage you have is build an equally awesome vintage garment. But the only way to make it look "right" is to use a pattern it was meant to be used with back in the day.

In any case, I hope you have "just the right fabric" to use with this pattern.

Always contact me if you have questions. I love to talk sewing and patterns and vintage...and a bunch of other stuff, too!

I love retro fashion and sewing clothes from another time. Vintage sewing patterns feed my addiction while entertaining me with all the possibilities for each garment.

My pattern prices are low to encourage everyone to create beautiful things.
