I am figuring out this new hobby of sewing clothing. I've come to the realization you can be just as creative in garment creation as anything else. There is the base pattern, then you can add your own touches with stitches and other details.
One comment on this FB post was "they forgot the cursing percentage." I would add seam ripping involves ASR "angry seam ripping." Pressing and ironing aren't even included in the graphic.
I visited an estate sale liquidator up country and spent $10 on antique sewing patterns. Antique is considered over 100 years old. I never imagined I would be able to obtain such patterns.
Butterick No. 424 and 426 doll clothes patterns are from 1923.
Dating back even further to 1899 Butterick 337 Doll's Play Suit pattern
Butterick 4314 Baby Dress, also from 1899
The last bit of ephemera is undated but around the same time period as the others. The Pictorial 2224 child's dress size 1/2 - 6.
I never imagined I would find patterns this old. Hoping against hope I will find a treasure trove of antique ladies dress patterns to create modern clothes from vintage sewing patterns.
