With Spring approaching, I've been doing a lot of sewing lately. As usual, it's sporadic since I have barely any fabric, but I've been doing pretty well with what I have. Something I have not been doing is taking pictures. I'm busy, y'all. Working in the middle of the day doesn't leave a lot of opportunities to get good lighting in my room. Now that it's getting darker later, I'll eventually get that done. In lieu of photos of that, I figured I'd share what else I've been wiling my hours away- binge pinning vintage patterns. Pinterest is definitely a huge waste of time and there is a lot of cowboy-boots-at-your-wedding bullshit on there, but when it's on your phone, it's such a great way to look busy on the bus. Plus, it's like the digital version of the clipping books I used to make of clothes I'd cut out of magazines ten years ago, so... there's that.
Anyway, here's some of my favorite patterns from the 1960s I've found recently. I really wish I knew how to grade patterns up to my size. I'd love to be able to make every single one of these.
The original link for this one is dead, but I wish I knew more about it. I love the bolero and the weirdo bowler hat that manages to both be huge and tiny at the same time?!
