Vintage Sewing Patterns – A Directory of Sources!

1930s DuBarry Sewing Pattern

I have a bit of an addiction to vintage sewing patterns. I find that the cuts are just totally unlike anything you would find in modern commercial patterns and much closer to the amazing garments you might see walking down runways. I love the illustrations, I love looking at them, I love collecting them, and I love sewing them.

If you share my illness, take a look at this directory of vintage sewing pattern sources I’ve put together. I started putting this together to keep my own links organized and realized that it would probably be helpful for others.

And if you have stores you love (or stores you own) that you’d like to see included, please do contact me!

Update: I’ve received several emails for new resources, and I’ve added them. Keep ‘em coming!

Oops, I think the url changed somewhere along the way. It should work now. :)
