just plain pretty

 

I haven't been to an estate sale in forever so when my Mom called a few weeks ago and said there was an estate sale up the street from me, I grabbed $20 and was out the door.   The owner was a seamstress and had hundreds of sewing patterns...most of them were from the 80's so I only bought a few.  I also found some vintage repro fabric that you can see behind the patterns. 

I think most of my sewing pattern collages are "cute" or "fun" but I would describe these collages as "pretty"...

...and I think they would look great in a frame like this.  I am planning to list these and more from one of the other pretty Vogue patterns in my etsy shop this week. 

Now...I'm not a seamstress but I think the dresses in this pattern are so, so pretty and I would hate for the patterns to go to waste.  All of the patterns in the first pic are completely uncut, with instructions...they are all size 16.  I would love to send the patterns to anyone that wants them...just send me an email or a comment and I'll mail them to you.   The patterns have found a home!

oh someone else got here first! assuming that those are vintage 16's and therefore b36, they're just my size.

The collages look great, pretty indeed.

Those patterns are cute! The ones on top in the first picture are very trendy too, with that janeaustenish empire waistline. Which just proves that fashion happens in circles. But eighties patterns are so ugly - better let our children collect them!

So pretty! I need to figure out something to do with my patterns too because I am not actually using them so I should create something with them right? I have that same pink medallion paper on the bottom. We must have similar taste between that and then the patterned Basic Grey paper you used before! :)
