Sewers…people who sew - not the other[emoji23]

[endi2000]

Any sewers here? I have come across a huge box of vintage sewing patterns - mostly women’s but some child and men’s.

PM me if interested

When you say vintage (women's) sewing patterns-are they envelopes or sewing magazines (i.e. Burda World of Fashion, now Burdastyle) and what decades are they?

I sometimes peruse Kijiji ads for Burdastyle (just for prices and to get a sense what's on the market) magazines. I do check Talize and Value Village for patterns but in the past two years, prices have gone up and stock at the resale stores has gone down. Though I have contributed some batches of Vogue/McCalls/Butterick (mostly 80s/90s and a few 2000s) to my local VV store, I have not seen them in stock!

Have you sewn anything from your pattern stash? I lack motivation and good fabric. I keep my machine on the main floor now.
