I showed this post to my mother (we're cleaning out her home of 50 years and moving her to a condo) and she said, "Oh, I had that one and threw it away a few weeks ago." eeks!<br /><br />But we do have dozens of fab patterns from the 50's and 60's. She was a home economics teacher during that time and is a very talented seamstress. We decided that we'd remake some of my favorites together (my sewing skills aren't what they used to be when I lived at home.) I'm really excited! There will be a post on my blog in a couple of days with a few of the patterns we'll be remaking in the next year or so.MandGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05961629785452003493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-49987831325682995122010-06-12T01:00:35.031-04:002010-06-12T01:00:35.031-04:00I just stumbled upon your blog, but I was wonderin...I just stumbled upon your blog, but I was wondering where you got this.

But where better than NYC to be looking for these goodies!<br /> I love the bolero and was looking for a bolero pattern to go with the black linen dress I just made for a wedding.<br /> I am going on the hunt for that pattern.<br /> Check out the new Vogue collection on Pattern Review, Michael Kors has a dress that looks a lot like #4 in the Vogue book.<br /> I was thinking of buying the Kors pattern.<br /> Your blog is great fun.Susan Fogelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912497864436877386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-51590435835345238632010-03-18T00:39:04.149-04:002010-03-18T00:39:04.149-04:00I know this is an old post but I just recently sta...I know this is an old post but I just recently started following your blog! I just had to say that these patterns actually almost make me physically hurt just looking at them. I hate anything tight on my waist and that just looks downright painful! How could you sit or bend over in those things? Just my few cents! But kudos to you for trying to make these!Sarah Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17316695944538230206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-70243355027760773592009-12-15T00:08:30.934-05:002009-12-15T00:08:30.934-05:00I must have 2, 4, 6, 10, and 12.

I know that we were collectively thinner back then, but seriously, that waist requires a really tight corset waist girdle. Are the patterns sized for such a tiny waist? I guess my favorites are the looser designs that don't require so much cinching.Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-39313466063822094702009-07-12T08:54:57.991-04:002009-07-12T08:54:57.991-04:00Those photos make me want to go buy a girdle....im...Those photos make me want to go buy a girdle....immediately!!

Bad idea: Someone else might beat you to one. Good idea: Someone tracks one down and lets you know about it. But you should at least let us know which ones you do have (no pattern numbers necessary) just in case we come across the others.<br /><br />I'm really loving your posts! Hopefully they'll motivate me to get back to sewing soon. So, thanks for the inspiration.lsaspaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058968076601943527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-12907207970341210802009-07-10T22:31:26.058-04:002009-07-10T22:31:26.058-04:00I've got the coat pattern (or something very s...I've got the coat pattern (or something very similar) in my Etsy shop:<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27500694" rel="nofollow"> Here</a><br /><br />How on earth did those women get such tiny waists?
