Vintage sewing patterns

September 9, 2013

This is a paper kit from Ann Vanture’s Paper Minis.

The kit makes six patterns, and it was easy peasy!  Cut, fold and glue.

Since these will go in the Heritage attic, I took one and added a yellow paint wash after crinkling the paper. It’s just the right amount of age and wear. (The pattern envelope is colorfast, but the pattern tissue is not.)

For one of the patterns, I removed the upper tab, made a tear in the front and repaired it with tiny strips of tape. :D

They are wonderful, no?

I kept two of the pattern sheets separate so I can use them with fabric for a future sewing room. It felt great to be creative again!
