It's still in the early stages, but I have decided to sell my vintage and not so vintage patterns. I also have a handcrafted "plarn" purse on there and will be adding more patterns, and handcrafted stuff in the next few days! Check it out and let me know what you think!! I'm so excited about it!! Ijust lowered some of the prices if anyone is interested. Thanks!

Hi Tammy!

I LOVE that plarn purse! What a great idea! I have never seen one before, but that's really neat...and "green" too!

Congrats on starting a Etsy shop! I hope to "one day".....

Tammy you have some great patterns. Can you possibly send me what the measurements are for the vintage '70's patterns. I am pretty sure they are not the equivalent on todays size 14 and 16.

The vintage simplicity and the vintage mc call's lots. If you run across any larger sized vintage 50's or 60's patterns I would be interested as well!!

Darn it! My hips would never fit those. That is why i usually go for those '50s & '60s dresses that need a crinolin under them. I will keep checking your site though!
