There's a New Kid on the Block

For all of you Pattern Mavens and Collectors, there is a new site being created. It is at Wikia and is the brain child of Erin from Dressaday. It is an interactive site where you can look for patterns , and display your favorites, or show off your creations from old patterns. It is in it's embro stage but growing quickly so be sure to go check it out. Vintage Sewing Patterns

What are the odds?

of finding 2 Designer Patterns at the same time? Really good patterns don't come around often and when you buy a big box of patterns there are usually 1 or 2 really good ones in the lot, but I lucked into the greatest find this weekend. Actually a friend of mine picked the lot up at an auction and brought it to me. There were so many great 50's Advance patterns that it's hard to decide which I like best. Here's my top 5 of the batch.






















The first is a Luis Estevez sheath dress with a floating panel in back. Then there's the Suzy Perette Bubble skirt with a bateau neckline and wide midriff cummerbund.
Two blouson sheath's both with a very fitted front and blousy back.

And last but definitely not least this adorable and very sexy draped bodice sheath. Bombshell at it's best.























All of these will be on the auction block this weekend (Happy Thanksgiving and post Black Friday)......at cemetarian on eBay.
