So far I've not found any bits of the past inside any of the vintage patterns that I've collected.

I've found so many fun things too -- drafted pattern pieces (e.g., a facing) from a newspaper sheet -- complete with date, and part of an article on rowing. <br /><br />I also found two buttons in a blouse pattern once - but the blouse need four buttons!! I still have them in my stash though. They'll definitely be used one day.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070809028433760473noreply@blogger.com
