The wonder of a vintage pattern.


There is just something about a Vintage pattern that sends me a bit doolally.


This weeks purchase was an original Special Design Vogue 4010 from 1959.

The pattern is complete and uncut ! Although as you can see the envelope is a little worse for wear but hey , i can over look that.

Cant wait to make this up, but its gonna take a lot of preparation. I don't want to be the one to cut the original pattern piece so i plan to trace it out.

From the trace copy i will then need to grad the pattern up a few sizes.

I'm thinking a rough silk in a deep red colour. would be perfect for Christmas party season.
