Sewing Tip - Old Patterns

	els said... Perhaps scanning them, and put them in a photo album so others can see what kind of patterns you own. 9/8/03 5:09 AM
	Gemma said... Wow! I'm sorry about your aunt, but what a wonderful inheritance. Since she was a dressmaker, the patterns are probably in a variety of sizes. As Els suggested, it would be great if you could scan them and show them on this site. I sew vintage patterns and am particularly interested in the 1940s through early '60s, bust size 32. I've been looking everywhere for Advance #2915 (1942), McCall #6372 (1946), McCall 7208 ('40s) and McCall #1596 ('50s). I wish vintage pattern sites would sell copies of patterns as well as the originals, because only one person can have the originals. I've been sewing since the early 1960s and could scream when I think of all the old patterns I didn't keep from back then. 9/9/03 10:45 AM

	Rab said... Lou. The Magic Roundabout brings back memories of an early age. Is there any way I might obtain a copy of this pattern? Especially Florence, Dylan, and Mr. Zebedee. Not forgetting Dougal. Thanks. Rab. 1/15/04 10:51 PM
