I have been sewing a while and I am more comfortable in my clothes now. Anyway, one comment about anonymous posters...tsk, tsk, tsk. We all know that there are a few stinkers out there trying to contaminate our blogs. How sad is that? Oh, well, keep sewing what you like, keep posting and sharing your projects so we can all enjoy. Thank you very much:)Corrinehttp://sewtopia.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23435904.post-57932345175667433692011-06-05T19:54:18.210-05:002011-06-05T19:54:18.210-05:00What great finds!

I do admire taking an old pattern - which are often very well cut with great instructions - and using it to create a stylish but contemporary look.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622769905155059570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23435904.post-19799834683977790002011-06-05T19:11:26.861-05:002011-06-05T19:11:26.861-05:00I get so frustrated hearing about people making co...I get so frustrated hearing about people making comments about someone's vintage whatever not being authentic or not looking vintage enough. It's ridiculous. We'd all better sew on an old machine to really achieve authenticity. Just imagine if we cared about looking authentic in our 1960s/1970s patterns. Oh, the polyester! <br /><br />Who cares as long as you have made something that you love that fits nicely and makes you feel good about yourself and the world in general. That could be a pattern from 1943 or 2003. Everything "retro' is in style now so what's the difference? <br /><br />BTW my word verification was funny also. "squisses" I am thinking it's when you are giving hugs and kisses at the same time.vintagekitchenkitschnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23435904.post-31899828444382771992011-06-05T18:59:03.823-05:002011-06-05T18:59:03.823-05:00It seems we go through waves of snarky anonymous c...It seems we go through waves of snarky anonymous commenters. Sigh. That's the fun of sewing, make it as you wish. Are obvious tattoos and piercings vintage (not to offend those that have them, could really care less, to each his/her own), but just pointing that out. Tats were mostly on sailors in the old days from whence these patterns come from.Myrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163175961766563965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23435904.post-84898942262591199922011-06-05T17:08:15.424-05:002011-06-05T17:08:15.424-05:00I love your 'new' vintage patterns - and I...I love your 'new' vintage patterns - and I'm looking forward to seeing what you make from them.

Sometimes its fun to take a vintage pattern and modernize it, that's part of the fun of sewing. :]Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352160013222440581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23435904.post-59666275582948260582011-06-05T11:03:59.271-05:002011-06-05T11:03:59.271-05:00You scored well with your patterns...I like the PJ...You scored well with your patterns...I like the PJ's pattern.
