Vintage 1930s Evening Gown Pattern
Though I started with crochet patterns, I have a growing library of knitting patterns. I also have some rarer tatting patterns, lots of old cookbooks, and a whole bunch of house plan books that I haven’t even gotten to yet. Do you have a favorite pattern or type of patterns? I find that people tend to specialize. I sell a lot of retro 50s designer patterns, and another big seller is antique baby caps. I want to hear from you. Many of you have already emailed me and we’ve had wonderful conversations. I’d like to reflect what I learn from you in this blog, and maybe find answers to questions as well.
Any filet crochet fans out there? How about shadow filet? Do you have any experience with that? Do you know what that is? Who has a crocheted bedspread from their grandmother? I have five of them – my mother and sisters gave me theirs. I’m looking for ideas for ways I can use them in my home besides putting them on a bed. Right now I’m thinking about covering a headboard or using it as a wall hanging behind my bed.
Right now I offer about 1500 restored patterns and pattern books. I have so many newly acquired patterns to list I don’t know where to begin! Let me know what you’re looking for and that will get me started. Just to let you know, I have lots of baby sets, more baby caps, lots of hats and bags, hundreds of motifs, blocks and doilies, women’s designer fashions from the 20s to the 60s, and lots of household and novelty items. I try to put new ones up every day.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
