I've got the same pattern. Anne Adams and Hollywood patterns are highly collectible. There is a sewing site ya'll might be interested in called <A HREF="http://www.vintagesewing.info/" REL="nofollow">Vintage Sewing Info</A>. And another that is really great for access to older vintage patterns: <A HREF="http://www.vpll.org/" REL="nofollow">Vintage Pattern Lending Library</A>. The old patterns are getting more difficult to get because many collectors get them and hang onto them. So the lending library is a nice alternative. I've also made copies of the patterns on pattern paper and then resold the original patterns to try and keep them in circulation. Be careful tho, when using these patterns, they are really old and tear easily. They are sized for measurements before the new standard sizing was developed, so Always go by actual measurements. The pattern pieces are also more closely graded to the actual human form, so you will find that sleeve armscye's and necklines will not only be really interesting but will fit better. For example, a sleeve head should slightly slope towards the front, which is missing from most patterns on the market today. Good luck to you! Vintage patterns are really inspiring!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15615926.post-1156044086321943102006-08-19T22:21:00.000-05:002006-08-19T22:21:00.000-05:00I really like your latest retro patterns.I really like your latest retro patterns.Linda Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655695696943452993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15615926.post-1155790249431521822006-08-16T23:50:00.000-05:002006-08-16T23:50:00.000-05:00Michele, I'm so glad that Jessica likes the apron....Michele, I'm so glad that Jessica likes the apron.

Thanks for the comment on my blog - I used complimentary cotton/lycra interlock cut in narrow strips (1 inch? - can't remember for sure) applied as binding. The pattern calls for a facing.

I have always loved them. I don't think your children will through your stuff out. I think they will find it hard to split it up.<BR/><BR/>I just love that vintage designer dress pattern.
