Vintage pattern collectors tend to pay large amounts for uncut patterns, those that have never been used. But used patterns have a special place in my heart. When I cut this dress out this morning, I saw that the first seamstress to use this pattern was meticulous, with every notch marked and dart traced off perfectly. I wonder what kind of fabric she chose, did she attempt to copy the cover art on the envelope, did she use cotton or was it a special occasion dress in satin and organdy? All I know for sure, is that she is a sister in sewing, and I feel a bond across the decades.

You've made me laugh with your post about the Chistmas music! I'm sitting on the edge of my seat just dying to get start on the holiday season and brought out my music the other day.
I love vintage things for the stories they tell and the memories that they evoke. How nice to see that you enjoy that about them too.
The answer to the question you asked about the link is yes. Thank you for the compliment.
