I have a slight addiction to Pinterest. It’s the site I turn to when I need a clever illustration for my blog or a decorating idea. Lately I’ve been searching Pinterest for vintage sewing patterns.
Don’t ask me why. I can’t sew, and I don’t own a sewing machine. The one outfit I made in Mrs. Craig’s high school home economics class fell apart shortly after I modeled it in the class fashion show, and I haven’t made another attempt in over forty years. Yet, there’s something about these patterns that calls to me.
Apparently, I’m not the only one. Patterns similar to these sell for as much as $60 on EBay.
Am I too old at 60 to learn how to sew? Maybe I could figure out how to use a 3D printer to create these styles. That’s equally plausible.
What’s your guilty pleasure? Is there something you google or search Pinterest or eBay for that you’ll probably never follow through on?
Peace, people!

Oh, the nostalgia. I’ve made dresses quite like that, back when I had a waist like that.

I’ve thought about finding a seamstress to make me one, but I really do need a waist before I do.

I quite like the pictures just as pieces of artwork. I can’t help you when it comes to the sewing, though. The only way I can even attach buttons to my shirt is with superglue.

You and I have identical sewing skills.

Ditto; waist not as good as before I had children. I too love vintage patterns for the artwork & we can but dream that we could look as good as the sketched models! I mainly have a passion for vintage buttons which are inspiring me to get creating but alas I feel the patterns will remain neatly in their packs. For now, I will be funking up existing clothing with my stash of awesome buttons, making craft items and selling on eBay!
