McCall's 3607 Head Turner Trapeze Dress 1988 a super rare pattern.  Not sure why but it is very cute.  Couldn't find one other anywhere on the internet.  Hmmmm.  But I like it!

Always looking for Estate Sales which are often a treasure trove of sewing items.  Not just patterns but fabric, buttons, sewing machines and more.  Unfortunately living in Yuma limits the use of Estatesales.net but maybe this site can help you find some fun stuff and not just for sewing.   I've got some questions to some Phoenix estate sale people about patterns - keep your fingers crossed.  I hate to travel that far without knowing there are alot.

Had a lovely visit with my sister.  She got a new puppy who is just the sweetest.  A white lab puppy about 4 months old and is the most laid back dog I've ever met.  Now you know how much I want one too but will have to resist.

SALE NOTICE!  I am starting a 15% off Pattern Sale at noon tomorrow until Sunday night.  I'll post in the morning the code word so that you readers can get a few hours bonus shopping time before I formally send notice of the sale.

Vogue 7571 Dining on the Titanic Dress 2002 could any dress be more magical? This beauty is extremely rare which is odd as it is only a 2002.  Perhaps it wasn't produced in great amounts or were totally snatched up and used.  The few I found on the internet were higher than what I am listing it for.

This might be a good moment to give some advice to those of you who are looking for vintage or scarce patterns.  One word of advice: RESEARCH.  It takes me longer with each and every pattern I list to research than to list.  I first check the Vintage Pattern Wikia and then go to Ebay, then I do a Google search.  I follow each and every link to see size, condition, price.  When you are researching and buying don't forget to check for shipping!  I have found a scarce pattern on Ebay and when I go to buy it I find that shipping has been jacked up so much the pattern isn't a deal.  When you find a pattern you can't live without - hesitate - and do your research.  Even on my site - hesitate - research.  Patterns are priced according to that day's listing research.  Things change and I am always rechecking and adjusting prices accordingly.

Thanks to Maggie at Costumersguide.com for the blog about my website and my many costume patterns.  Right after her posting I had a very nice sale that came from her site - big thanks!

An oldie featured here: Simplicity 4739 Smartly Tailored Dress - Deep Pockets / ca. 1954 which though plain just has that "something" for me.  And very rare too.  Love finding patterns that can't be found anywhere.

Butterick 5090 Jiggy Vest, Jacket, Skirt & Pants 1970's extra nice and versatile wardrobe.  I have some rare and unique patterns listed today but I just plain liked this for it's versatility.  And no your eyes aren't fuzzy the picture is.  Not my picture - their picture.

Still working my way thru 4 huge bins of patterns.  Have them sorted into manufacturer and then separated into misses' and kid's and costumes.

Making it a day of shopping today.  Hitting all the local thrift stores so wish me luck finding some treasures.

McCall's 2769 Just the Hippest Maternity Separates 1971

 

I don't see this as a maternity outfit - it has great slim lines and is one of the nicest combo patterns, especially that long sleeveless guru vest.  View B with the pants is so 70's.

Another great idea from TipNut - Make-Over Apron With Bib: {Vintage How-To}

 

It is made from an old dress and all the instructions are there on the link.  Next time I'm at a thrift store I will look for an old dress to do this with.

Vogue 5831 High Pocketed Dress / ca. 1946  has interesting pockets that open at the shoulder - hmmmmm.  I have never seen pockets quite like this before.  A rather plain dress otherwise.

Thanks once again to Nancy for another fun site to visit.  It's called TipNut.Com and it's not only informative but funny too.  Well okay maybe the humor isn't intended but some of the stuff made me giggle.

Vogue 2810 Explosive "Corset" Top & Flowing Skirt 2003 and anybody who can wear this dress has my admiration.  I will bow down to you.  The top looks like a torture contraption - if you bend at the waist you jab yourself "personally" - and breathing just forget about it.

 

Thanks Nancy for the visual on that helpful tip you found on yesterday's  Household Hints & Tips website.  The site says if you put a mini-pad in your hat it acts as a sweatband.  But Nancy brought up the dilemma of some wind coming up and the hat blowing off.  Would the pad just stick to your forehead or go flying?  Either would be ugly LOL

McCall's 5729 Irresistible Dress with Attached Petticoat 1960 what a nice neckline this dress has!  Drop the black gloves however - totally messes with my "chi" and not feng shui at all.

While researching how to survive in this poor economy I ran across an odd site which ranges from total survivalist to practical suggestions of just plain being prepared.  It's an EHow site:  How to Survive an Economic Meltdown

 

Some of the "more articles" and "links" - well I didn't know whether to laugh or get scared.

The main site is just mind-boggling.  I have spent several hours looking up How To stuff!

While researching a pattern the other day got directed to the Customer's Guide to Movie Costumes and had alot of fun going through it.  Who knew they had so many costumes out there.  Alot of those 1500 patterns I've been going thru are costumes and some quite rare and collectible even though they are from the 2000's.  Oh I remember - I was actually looking for a pattern that came out after Grace Kelly wore a certain dress in "Rear Window" and I did find it but what a rare pattern - wish I had at least one.  I could just about retire if I did - smile.

Kwik Sew 3495 Vivacious Vest & Skirt 2007 one of a number of newish Kwik Sew patterrns I got in that 1500+ batch from the lady who had a fabric store.  Spent hours last afternoon and night sorting through them all and it looks like a pattern explosion in my living room and office and even into the hallway.  Fun fun fun!  My husband, a good sport, just steps around the piles.  I ended up not listing any "oldies" today and my apologies.  Today is a sorting and filing and storing for listing day.

McCall's 9276 Sharp as a Tack Skirt 1953 with lovely crescent pockets.  Someone really took care of this pattern as the envelope is in lovely condition which is a rare thing.  And never used - completely uncut.  Who could resist?

Speaking of old patterns I'm often sad about the condition of the pieces when counting them so did some Googling and found this site: 

How to Repair Sewing Pattern Envelopes, Instruction Sheets and Pattern Pieces which has everything I need to know and should come in handy for all of you.  I don't do any "repairing" by taping or pinning or duplicating or even ironing (I don't iron - if it's not wash and wear I don't buy it or make it).  I believe buyers should do that if they desire.  If there are any problems with the pieces I say so - no surprises!

American Weekly 3844 Goddess Athena Dress 1950's that perfect dress for a Roman lady to attend a party in.  It also sprang to mind this would make a lovely nightgown too.

Apologies for missing yesterday.  Did a huge listing and it being Monday had tons of orders to get out in the mail and then my power went off.  WTF?  Wanted to set my hair on fire.  Speaking of hair - I am coloring it this morning and am trying what I thought was a slightly different shade but right now my head looks purple.  Eek - hope it looks better when it's rinsed.

Do you like Sea Monkeys?  Even know what they are?  Didn't we all have them or at least attempt to "grow" them when we were kids?  A friend forwarded me the Sea Monkey Worship site which is a hoot.  Want a good laugh - check it out!

Starting a SALE TOMORROW! However I will be putting in the sale code tonight about 8:00 p.m. after I finish tomorrow's listing.  I won't be posting it formally until tomorrow morning so you will get a jump on it!   I am going away on a mini-vacation camping with friends.  We'll be gone Thursday and coming home Tuesday.  Sale starts formally tomorrow morning and ends Tuesday night.  15% off and use discount code SPRING at checkout and have fun shopping.

American Weekly 3841 Norma Jean Halter Bra, Skirt & Shorts 1950's which has to be the most awesome pattern I have found in along time.  The picture alone is worth framing.

A customer out of the country has an interesting website called Pitti Vintage with Italian and European Vintage clothing.  A different perspective than U.S. vintage clothing.

Hope you all had a lovely Easter!  We got shook up here.  We are right on the border with Mexico and mid-Baja had a 7.2 earthquake.  It wasn't a jolter but more of a roller but it sure lasted a long time - a few books tumbled over only - luckily.  I went to grab the cats and dash for the door with one under each arm but the brats were hiding under the bed and didn't come out for an hour.  Sissies.

Butterick 3870 Indie Dress - Super Huge Collar 1960's a major mod dress from designer Jean Muir.  Jean Muir mostly designed for Vogue (?) and I was surprised to see her name on this old Butterick.  Style in keeping with the spring and summer theme!

Had a phone call from Dorothy at the local Hospice Thrift store yesterday morning.  She told me a lady who had once had a fabric and pattern store had dropped off some 2000 patterns new and boxed from the early 2000's and asked if I wanted to buy them.  Oh yeah!  This same lady donated about this much last year and there were some fabulous rare patterns in them even though they are fairly new.  I picked up half yesterday (I could only fit so many in my Subaru LOL) and spent most of yesterday sorting through them.  Wow.  Tons of quality Evening Elegance patterns and top notch costume patterns too.  Oh where do I put them!  Told Dorothy I'd get the rest next week or the week after as soon as I make room somewhere.

I had put a number of new patterns in for today but about half are "relists" because I got some duplicates in different sizes yesterday.  Variety is the spice of life!

Spadea 451 Basic Sheath for Candlelight Hours 1961 - do you need that "little black dress?"  Here it is.  Spadea has the greatest descriptions.  "This beautifully shaped bodice of this basic sheath is sleeveless for candlelight hours ..."  Sigh - lovely visuals.OMG!  While reading the back of this pattern again it refers to:  "When the occasion warrants it, the dickey-blouse (#454) provides arm covering and neck interest, with the jacket (#453) it becomes an eye-catching ensemble" and realized that I had bought a number of Spadea patterns from a dealer and they came with it.  I will list them Monday - wow what luck.

Sorry for the late posting.  Went to our little local county fair and had such a fun time we didn't get home until midnight.  Way past my bedtime!  There was a hypnotist who had two shows - the first rated "G" and the later show was a bit more risque but hilarious.  We laughed until we cried.  I always wonder why someone would agree to be hypnotized - why????

Anne Adams 4704 Cheeky Blouse in Two Styles + Transfer 1940's a real heartbreaker!  Still sorting through those patterns I bought from that kind lady cleaning out a relative's house.  Our County Fair starts today and we are going this afternoon.  Nothing like a local little county fair - the sewing and craft displays are a favorite.  Hot dog on a stick - I hear on calling me now!

 

The Budweiser Clydesdale will be there too - such a thrill I never get tired of seeing them.  Makes me sad too - after having horses my whole life my old mare died a few years ago at the age of 34.  She had been mine since she was born so we were buddies.
