I have started selling what is my base product line, Vintage sewing patterns. However I have a number of categories I'll be including as the time permits.
..........................PLEASE READ OUR BLOG...... FOR INFORMATION ABOUT UPCOMING LISTS AND NEWS.
....................................................
In the early 70's I purchased a full stock of Advance sewing patterns from an old country store, these patterns were still in the active selling stock, even though some were from more than 20 years before!!! These patterns have been in storage till now, although I have greatly added to my stock of vintage patterns over the years from estate sales, etc.
................................................
Please look back in or around mid May for my posts about the stock, I have a few, very few designer and specialty patterns, I also have patterns from the 60's through the 80's. A lot of these have been used, I would check to be sure all the pieces were there before I listed or let you know if they haven't been checked.
I have a nice assortment of children’s patterns; these also have many used ones in the lot. They range from baby layettes, toddlers, young children up to and including teens. These too go back to the 40’s up until approximately the mid 80’s.
.................................................
I have only a handful of specialty patterns, toys, hats, purses, etc. Although a fair amount of aprons, pajamas and nighties in all categories, children’s, women’s and men’s.
Specialties:
I have some old dolls to put on, but that will not be until May I think, as I have to sort and inventory them. Also coming will be 1972 Harley Davidson sporster accessories, some still new and in the box!! WOW!! And vintage swimsuits and jewerly.
Places to Find Us:
I will try to put on some of the patterns until about the end of March, however the month of April and perhaps the beginning of May I will be organizing and cataloging the inventory.............Please send any questions or other communications through ebay, that is where I get ALL my messages, not an outside source. The only exceptions are for posting comments in our blog, we usually do not respond to individual questions there.
Our Business Policies and Services
Shipping:
We usually ship in flat rate priority envelopes and boxes, as we are located in a rural location. To get timely shipments sent, using another method, we would have to drive some distance incurring a higher handling charge to cover the cost of travel. We will try to combine multiple orders whenever possible, however it may not be noted in the listings. Sometimes because of the shapes or sizes of products this is not possible. If you want to bid on or if you win multiple bids, you can contact me through ebay to ask.
Policies:
Please read:
As they are of considerable age, most patterns
Show some wear. Curling of envelope tops, discoloration, perhaps some small holes or tears. Some may have actual rips. For the most part, the patterns themselves are in relatively great condition and never have been removed from the envelopes.
Some come from private collections, the may have writing and marks on them also. Many have been cut and or used. When I can see this I will let you know. However, I hesitate to remove them, as the envelopes can be brittle and subject to damage. I will let you know if I have removed and checked for missing pieces.
Much of my other merchandise is VINTAGE that means OLD and will have been if not used, at least handled and perhaps show signs of wear. If you have ANY questions, ASK.
Please look closely at the pictures and read the descriptions, because of their age, these are sold AS IS and CANNOT BE RETURNED.
