Here is where sellers can list any catch-all policies about their booth. If any of this information is essential to the buying process, the seller will also mention that within their item description -- so don't sweat it if you don't make a habit of looking at the details for every booth!

Miscellaneous details

We believe that every body should have access to beautiful vintage styled garments, and when we saw an opportunity to make this so – we ran with it!

These patterns were designed in the fifties and sixties for housewives to use.. they don’t assume a lot of specialist knowledge. The patterns are kept as simple as possible, and only assume a general knowledge of how garments go together. That said, the “general knowledge” that a 50’s or 60’s housewife had about sewing is probably much higher than the average today! :)

If you can look at a pattern and identify what the different pieces are (tell the front of a blouse from a sleeve, for example), and if you can draft yourself a waistband or cuff (sometimes these very simple pieces are not included) you should have no problem with these.

They don’t come with a “sew piece A to piece B” set of instructions because the pieces themselves are so simple it is very obvious how they go together.

The drafting system is so simple a child could do it. There’s no complicated math, it is literally “Join the Dots”. The patterns are totally scaleable, and can accommodate from a 20 inch bust up to a 69 inch bust – so you can buy from the adults’ sections for dolls or children and vice versa. If these sizes don’t accommodate your needs, please message me.

I am delighted with the idea of these patterns being “out there” and being made into beautiful clothes.
