Look at my new Vintage Patterns - kids collection
A friend of my mother's gave me a bag of her old patterns, including some great ones from around 1985.
Look at these delightful illustrations:
Tumblr media
We start with some sweet sailor suits and dresses I mostly kept for costuming purposes and vintage appeal. The one on the left is from 1984, I'm guessing the sailor suits are as well.
Tumblr media
Then some more modern baby clothes because adorable and maybe something I could make for the Freckling if I ever go mad enough to want to make teeny-tiny clothes again.
Tumblr media
Then some coats and pyjamas that I think one of my baby cousins would go wild for.
Tumblr media
And then some fun kid's clothes! Look how dapper those vest-wearing girls are! And the skirt looks very convenient and cute too.
I still haven't recovered from the strawberry suit I made for a cousin's baby, but should the urge overtake me, I am now well prepared...

Can't sleep so I'm trying to find a vintage pattern that my grandma has but it's 1am for her rn so I can't just ask
You'd be surprised how little my knowledge of said pattern is narrowing it down

About that Bustline: McCalls 8338
This re-issued pattern from the 1930s explains why the Dress Doctors could sometimes tsk-tsk poor design in women’s clothing. We could debate all day about modesty versus prudishness, about sexual double standards, and other factors, historical and contemporary, in fashion’s display of women’s bodies. My critique of this pattern is the design is trying to hard.
As the pattern description states: “Gathers... create fullness in the bustline.” True, gathers have the obvious advantage of increasing bulk wherever they appear, whether at the bustline or the hipline. In various historical eras, when a particular kind of silhouette became the fashion, designers used gathers to allow women to create the illusion of more curves than they possessed.  But by outlining each breast with an obvious curve, the cut of this dress seems kind of desperate. As if the wearer is saying, Yes, I really do have breasts under here! Oh yes, I do! See? You can imagine more subtle cuts to the bodice that would create a similar silhouette. The other design details, Peter Pan collar, puffy shoulders and sleeves indicate this is a young woman’s dress, so why make her so self-conscious of her figure? I am seeing it from the point of view of the small-busted woman here, you may have noticed.
Of course, women’s evening wear has bared women’s flesh and form in obvious ways too, but this looks to be a day dress done up as it was in small patterns. And the suggestions for fabrics are crepes, linens and woolens with none of the fabrics usually recommended for evening. It looks to date to the late 1930s when the waistline was clearly defined and when hemlines were moving up to just below the knee where they would be frozen for the duration of World War II.
 You can find this pattern at your local fabric store or online here: https://somethingdelightful.com/mccalls/m8338

WIP time! I'm drawing the Batgirls (Babs, Cass, Steph) into the artwork for a vintage sewing pattern (Simplicity 7406)! It's been very fun- but it'll probs be more obvious that it's them once I add colour haha

Not familiar with this pattern company. Assuming it's British because it came in from the UK.

Look at my new Vintage Patterns - 1980s Fancy Lady Edition
A friend of my mother's gave me her old patterns (look here for the cute kid's stuff) so I thought I'd ensure you can all marvel at them.
There are some gems of the 1980s here:
Tumblr media
We start with these ladies from 1985 Vogue who have definitely not killed their husbands
Tumblr media
Then quite a nice wrap dress from Vogue Americana. i love when they do both an illustration and a picture
Tumblr media
Then some Dior, not my favourite
Tumblr media
This Givenchy Suit is A Look at least, particularly with the hat
Tumblr media
And then this Nina Ricci dress which is just A Lot. I feel like I'm looking at a nightgown. However, there is a gem hidden in this pattern!
Tumblr media
You get a little Vogue label to sew on your clothes! Just to prove that you are wearing Vogue or something. It's a very scratchy label , which makes it even funnier. I just love it
