New - Free Pattern Friday Giveaway!


I have some vintage patterns in my ebay store (shown at left), but have a bunch more to list or giveaway, the ones I will never have time to make. I have chosen 2 for today to give away, US postage free. Just leave a post with your blog link, your email or website. I will draw a name on Sunday and post the winner. I may start to do this since DH asked me "what are you going to do with that box of patterns under the desk?" Some will end up on ebay as they are 1940's-50's. Some will end up as freebies. Post away!

BTW, both are size 18, B40, W31, H42.

I'm going through a clean-out for an upcoming yard sale, so I could definitely use some cute new patterns to fill up the empty space. :)

Is it oppressive?

Not much sewing going on here, but I have been cruising the internet more than usual and was not feeling well today. I came across a post on a blog today (Gertie) about whether vintage clothes are oppressive, going backwards. I do not think this at all, I think it is individuality, flattering and enhancing the feminine look, wishing for simpler life and times, and probably other ideas out there. I also believe men and women are different, but capable of being equals in various ways, but there are things that are inherently male and female. Different but equal. And have no problem with dressing up the physical to be attractive. Not to the extreme, but to look neat, appropriately dressed, made-up. I am not a feminist in the traditional sense, I am a stay at home mom with kids. I believe the differences are good.

Free Friday Patterns

Tomorrow being Friday, more free vintage patterns: Simplicity 5502, yr 1973, size 18, B40, W32, H42 - dress/jumper with lined and shaped yoke, back zipper, high round neckline. Simplicity 8541, yr 1969, size 18, B40, W31, H42 - button trimmed dress with back zipper, shaped bias roll collar and a pleat simulating an opening, short sleeves or sleeveless. Post a comment and I will draw this weekend. And to last weeks', now I have your info & they will go out tomorrow. At this rate, I may thin my stash quicker than I thought. Once my kids go back to school, I may go through the fabric stash and make little scrap bags for quilting scraps for giveaways. On the home sewing front, I was able to get one top put together for daughter and the second is also sewn together. Both need bias tape finishing (handwork) which can be done in the evening in front of the TV. Maybe tomorrow I will get the remaining pants cut out, bringing her total to a possible 5 pairs of capri/shorts for school...
