I am thankful for y'all & I'm showing it with a sparkling giveaway! November 26, 2010 07:44 181 Comments

You outdo yourselves with the giveaways! I have never sewn an actual vintage pattern – but I’ve sewn a number of reissued vintage Vogue and vintage-inspired patterns. Why do I like them? Well, I love things connected to the past. I’m not a fast fashion person (or a fast-design person). I live in a vintage home, I love vintage books, old music appeals. We have much to appreciate in times gone by – and it keeps us connected to those who came before us.

What a gorgeous pattern, I just love that neckline. I don’t think I’ve ever sewn from a vintage pattern, though some of the ones I’ve sewn from would now be considered vintage probably. :) I think the more tailored and structured look with such timeless elegance is what appeals to me most.
I subscribe to you in Google reader but I’m not a typepad follower.

I really like the feminine shape and cut of vintage patterns. I haven’t sewn one (yet?) since they usually come in tiny sizes (for me!) and going up 2 (or 3, or 4) sizes is not something I want to tackle.

I think that pattern is absolutely beautiful! The turn back sleeves are so absolutely cool, and I’m sure my dad has some cuff links he’d part with, instead of using buttons. I do follow through Google (I’ve never heard of Typepad), and I’ve never sewn a vintage pattern before. Thank you for the chance to enter!

I’ve just started sewing and have fallen in love with vintage patterns, mostly because I’m a nostalgia nut but also because I love the classic mid-century silhouettes. What a great give-away!

Of course I have sewn a vintage pattern – how about a jacket from a 1959 Dior Vogue designer pattern (complete with label)? I totally need your pattern and that gorgeous fabric; it’s my colour!

I love vintage patterns because I love vintage styles. While I haven’t sewn one yet, I’ve been building a collection of vintage, vintage-reprint and vintage style patterns. I just need the courage (and material) to start!
Thank you for the chance!

Oh, wow, what a giveaway!
I love the details of vintage patterns. I’ve sewn a few, and would like to sew more, of course.

I love sewing vintage patterns because they are a reminder of simpler times. Home seamstresses had to be creative with what they had and took the time to add special details. Also, models had curves until Twiggy came along. Darn that girl!

I like vintage patterns (especially from the 1950’s) for so many reasons! A few of those would be: the silhouettes, the artwork, the way they us connect with history, and looking for them at estate sale and thrift stores. I have sewn vintage patterns and I generally prefer them to modern patterns. Thanks for another great giveaway! I’ll try to sign up through Typepad. Love your blog!

I haven’t sewn a vintage pattern yet, but I hope to! I have a collection going. I’ve started to learn how to sew with modern patterns, just to get myself comfortable. This is a great giveaway. I follow you in my google reader.

I love to sew with vintage patterns because I learned to sew on what is now considered vintage patterns!

I love the detail of vintage patterns, and the instructions are so much more details and of a better quality. I haven’t made one up yet but they are wonderful eye candy

I sew almost nothing but vintage for myself, and I want this dress pattern. I promise to sew it up and blog about it, plugging B.G. all the time.

I love reading your posts, thanks for the give away. I’ve never sewn from a vintage pattern but have really wanted to for a while, the details just look so interesting. I’ve just bought at vouge pattern to wear to a weading in the summer, but am slightly affraid to cut into it now.

Hello!
I’m in love with retro style clothing. I haven’t sewn from a vintage pattern before since I draft my own from base pattern or use modern ones that looks old. I also try to learn one more classic couture techince for every project I make. To use an actual vintage pattern would be great and allow me to expand my skills. I’m especially interested in the sleeves on this dress. And the collar on the right one!
I live in Sweden, and right now it’s really cold. I’m updating my wardrobe to suit this temperature, so I am on the looksouts for wool fabric as well as new styles to play around with. Of course I can pay the extra shipping!

Ooo, this is an amazing giveaway!
I love to sew with a fabulous 50s or 60s pattern, because the styles were so wonderful back in the day. Not to mention, the drafting of the patterns and all the little details are always wonderful. For instance, you rarely ever see shoulder darts on patterns these days and it’s a bummer because I really need them to fit my small shoulders and broad back.

Currently working on my first vintage pattern a dress. I am hopeful. The details are interesting.

Wow! Here goes. I have yet to sew anything from a vintage pattern, despite having a growing stash. Too little time is my excuse. I love everything about them. The stylish cover illustrations, the designs (I love the silhouettes), the dreams they inspire. They are just more fun somehow than modern patterns. And oh so feminine. Well, fingers crossed, I never win anything :P

I love vintage patterns for several reasons. I love the styles, for example, the sleeve caps on this one are awesome and they remind me of my grandmother’s sewing room. I have not yet attempted a vintage pattern but I have few and I want to attempt one this winter. I love the color of the fabric.

I have sewn vintage patterns and love them. I also sewed some vintage when they were new that probably makes me vintage. My favorite about the older patterns is the classic styles from the 50s and early 60s.

I’ve only ever sewen the Vogue vintage patterns, so I don’t know how true vintage patterns compare. But I love how feminie the cuts of the vintage clotheing are.

What a wonderful giveaway, beautiful feminine dress with lovely details! I’ve never sewn a vintage pattern yet, but there’s always a first time for everything.

Honestly I am much better at buying vintage patterns than sewing with them. I have made a couple, but I usually end up making things with modern patterns so I don’t have to do very much resizing when I am pressed for time. I love the neckline of view B on your giveaway, though. I have a beautiful vintage vogue coat pattern that I am hoping to get started on for winter this year (although winter seems to have started without me the last 2 weeks).

Gorgeous Fabric, Fab Pattern, what a Give-away! I’ve never sewn a real vintage pattern, the only ones you’re able to find here in germany are really bad 70ies Burda patterns….
They can’t compare with this beauty!

Woohoo! This is a GREAT giveaway! I"m totally in! (And, I’ve started following you, which I thought I already had, but possibly I’m losing my marbles. I “did” turn 40 last week).
About vintage patterns…yes I sew with them alot! Almost exclusively the past several months. I love the fit and the style, and the amazing instructions and tips in each little envelope. I have to periodically take a break from stalking all my favorite stores and ebay shops because I get more than a bit obsessed. :D One day I’d like to have an entire wardrobe of vintage sewn garments. Wouldn’t that be amazing??

Well, you are correct about typepad being more difficult! LOL I’m here now…
First I have to say what a fabulous giveaway! Thank you!
I’ve known Michael for years and his fabric is FABULOUS and so is his service.
I’ve always had a love affair with vintage patterns. I collect them, use them, and pet them! I love the early 1920’s into the 30’s. Paul Poirot would have been my hero!

I love how feminine and flirty vintage patterns are – after a full day of “what not to wear” I’m ready to up the wardrobe anty.
I also figured out how to follow. What a fun give-away – thank you. g

What a gorgeous pattern! I have sewn several vintage 1940’s and 1950’s era patterns for my daughter, but would selfishly LOVE this one for me! Of course I’d have to finagle the sizing to fit, but Oh-so-worth-it! Not to mention that teal is MY color….fingers and toes are crossed!

I love vintage patterns because they are so much more flattering to the average gal than typical modern patterns. So far I have only sewn vintage reproductions because the idea of grading up to a 45" bust from 32" seems incredibly daunting, but I just got the tools to give it a whack (by tracing! I’m not about to destroy such a gorgeous pattern) and I’m ready to give it a go.

Great giveaway! I’ve only sewn from one vintage pattern — with mixed success, although in retrospect maybe I shouldn’t have also tackled a knit for the first time with it:)

Vintage patterns have design details that many modern patterns lack and I love.

I love vintage patterns, because so often they are more interesting than modern ones, with more detail and more unusual piecing, more darting.
I don’t think I’ve sewn one that was earlier than the 60s but I would if I could afford one. I have lots from the 60s, 70s, 80s and use them a lot, sometimes just borrowing a sleeve or a collar from one, sometimes using the whole thing.

I like vintage patterns and vintage clothing, especially from the 1940’s, when women wore shiek and shapely suits. The best thing about the vintage patterns I’ve used is that I know no one in town has anything like it. If I’m going to go to all the trouble of sewing something svelte, I may as well stand out in my duds.

I have yet to sew a vintage pattern, but I sincerely hope to soon. Your giveaways are amazing, and I hope that I can be lucky enough to win someday. Keep up the good work. You’re a joy to follow.

Okay, I think I signed up for a typepad account, but to be honest, it was all a bit confusing. I hope, therefore, that this second entry is valid. Woo hoo! Here’s hoping I win some vintage goodness!

wow. I love looking at vintage patterns, but i have not tried one yet. This one is gorgeous,i would love to try it out!

I’ve never sewed a vintage pattern before but have a few that I have purchased from Vogue this past year from their Vintage Vogue Collection. I’d love to give an actual vintage pattern a shot but have been searching for the right pattern. In the mean time I have been living vicariously through others who sew vintage and blog about it. What a wonderful give-away!

I followed some links to stumble upon your site. It’s just loveley. I do love to sew from vintage patterns. It takes me to a place where women were beutiful and elegant, something that I think gets a little lost with so much casual wear now. Good grooming is not hard, and the effort is always noted.
Good luck with the site and business, I’ll do my best to become a follower.

I love the look of vintage and am always looking at vintage patterns. I have yet to sew one, but would love to try.

Vintage patterns have great styles that are attractive to many body types. The teal fabric will make this particular vintage dress gorgeous.

I’ve never entered a blog giveaway before but the promise of that beautiful pattern and fabric is too much to resist!
The very first full dress I made when I was 17 was from a vintage pattern, a 1950’s wiggle dress. Which went on to form the basis for every other dress I made for the next two years!

I, of course, enter the giveaway!
I have always dreamed about sewing a real vintage pattern. It would be a great occasion to do it with my Grand Ma. She was a seamstress when she was young, and that would mean great moments and conversations with her.

What is not to love about a vintage pattern! So lady like and the teal wool from Michael’s is fabulous. I love to shop at Michael’s! I’ve never actually sewn a vintage pattern but love a challenge, so pick me!

Great giveaway! I like old pattern and I would like to learn sewing with one of them. So fare I only helped my grandparents to realize one pattern from ’49…I hope I can realiza more!

Sewing a vintage pattern is on my goal list for 2010. I haven’t made one yet but I still have time this year. This pattern in the gorgeous teal wool would be perfect. The style, size, and fabric color is perfect. The lipstick and nail polish would be the perfect finishing touch. You are so nice!

I’ve never sewn a vintage pattern, I am just beginning with garments. You wouldn’t know I was just beginning by the “stash” of patterns I’ve collected though. Lots and lots of those patterns vintage style copies. I do collect a lot of vintage fabric and stuff when thrifting, and would dearly love to own a true vintage pattern. The rest of it is just icing on the cake.

I just bought my very first vintage pattern – a 40s day dress. I’m excited and very nervous to give it a whirl. This is a beautiful giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win.

I am a Follower and subscribed in Google Reader to your Feed.

I love vintage patterns but I sewed with some that are considered vintage when they were NEW. I worked in a fabric store for a couple years and had quite a collection of fabric and patterns.
Love the fabric. and that pattern.

I like the way a lot of other sewists’ vintage creations come out, but I have been timid about trying to sew one. I really love the pattern you’ve chosen for the giveaway- two really nice collar options! I actually stumbled on your blog through this giveaway and will be following you in my reader. Thanks for the opportunity! Great giveaway!

I love vintage patterns, the styles are great, the instructions detailed, and the art on the envelope is my favorite! (Vintage McCall’s has the sassiest illustrated ladies) What a terrific giveaway!

Of course I have sewn with vintage patterns, although they were not vintage when I sewed with them. I consider myself vintage! I especially love when I read someone’s blog where they are sewing something I made decades ago! These days my memory escapes me sometimes, but I always remember the patterns. Recently I read a blog where the sewer was making the same dress I made for my high school graduation. Love bringing back these memories.

Here you are, a brand new follower! Thanks to my friend Bunny _ And thank you for this amazing giveaway! I love vintage patterns, I have several reproductions waiting, mostly from 40s and early 50s, but I’m not that good at sewing yet, just slowly improving… just like dancing! And I’d love to wear this dress on the dancefloor, on a 40s tune, matching flowers in my hair… what a romantic gal I am! :D
So finger crossed.

I love this pattern, esp view “b”. And close to my size!!!! I have a few vintage patterns, that I bought because of the “look”, however I have not used them, yet (have only had them a few weeks. I have used a repro retro pattern, however….but I can not wait to have time (maybe after the holidays) to try my hand at the REAL vintage goodness.

OH!!! I also became a follower. It was not such a “pain” to follow as they let you connect thru facebook. Easy Peasy.

Amazing pattern, and teal is one of my favourite and best colors, so a really nice giveaway. I’ve sewn some vintage and reprint patterns from Lutterloh and Vogue. I really like the styles that are usually classy and timeless celebrating the female figure unlike the strange sacks of todays fashion. The only problem I have with vintage patterns it that they are usually way too short, but that is luckily easily corrected… :)

oooh! Yay! You do the BEST giveaways!
I have sewn up a few vintage patterns, and though there is usually work involved in tweaking a little (for my hippy figure), it is always worth it.
Besides loving vintage styles and wearing clothes that didn’t come from the same store as all of your friends, and looking super natty besides, there is just something about opening that gorgeously illustrated envelope.
Knowing it’s age and delicacy and being able to know where it falls in it’s particular style period. Noticing the sometimes quirky or vague instructions, knowing that the women of this time period probably knew how to fill in the blanks because they were either taught by their mothers or in school. Wondering who owned it, and made it before, or why they didn’t. What fabrics they used, what accessories. Where they wore it. How incredibly stylish they must have been, and what I wouldn’t give to be able to go through their closets!
Aaah, vintage. How I adore thee!

I’ve never sewn a vintage pattern as I’m still in the early stages of my sewing career but I’d surely love to do so one day. I love the silhouette of 50s fashion. And, teal ist JUST the colour that suits me best.. ;)
Guess I get an extra entry, too, for already following you. Yay. :)

I love vintage patterns because the just seem so elegant as compared to modern ones. I have never sewn one yet but I am in the prosscess of sewing one at this very moment ;) Im happy you have 50 followers cause that is a big acheivement !

This is generous,you are so right. Um, does it count if I sewed clothes that are now showing up as vintage? (A little to soon, I think, ahem:)
I like the patterns because the ones that continue on are classic…if I still had some of the clothes I sewed, I could wear them today. I hope someone is doing so. I try to avoid eBay for this reason. Recently I saw some photos I’d not seen before (of me w/some friends in France & Italy during school)…I rarely compliment myself but wow, I looked pretty darn good. All were sewn by moi (except for jeans, of course), & a beautiful suede/shearling JulieChristieasLara coat that I bought from another student for way less than it was worth. She was being very kind—I didn’t have much $ & I didn’t have a winter coat. Ah.
Cheers on more followers. I think I’m following – you show up in my googley-readertube. Hmmm. I’ll check.
Cheers & good luck to all.

I’ve only sewn one vintage skirt pattern but I’ve begun collecting a few more! I’m interested in adding some vintage pieces to my everyday clothes. The 1950’s is definitely my favourite decade!

I have used a 1957 Enid Gilchrist book where you measure yourself then draft from a drawing onto your own paper.I have made a few things (some better than others).I love vintage as when you go back you can always find a time when your figure was the fashionable one and that makes anyone feel good.flapper or 60s for the curve-less through to 50s for the hourglasses…wonderful

Me! Me! Me! I even became a follower on Typepad! Not too hard, you can sign in with Facebook!
I have a few vintage patterns, but haven’t sewn any. Love the style of 50’s clothes – very friendly to hips and… um.. curves. I love the neckline of view B and those cool cuffs!
C’mon random number generator… pick me!

My this is quite the giveaway!
Why I like vintage patterns? I grew up seeing my stunning mom dressed in these dresses. I believe she probably wore that lipstick and nail polish too. And myself, well I am just a vintage person, yearning for the fashions of the movies, the fifties, and hats and gloves. I really think I would be quite the fashionista in another time.
Thanks so much for your giveaway.

You didn’t mention if you accept foreign entrances to the give away, but I’m going to try my luck anyway :)
I love all the little detailes in vintage patterns, the femininity, curves and cuts on them. And styles ofcourse, I’m not much of the fan of modern saggy jersey clothes and leggings. It is lovely just to look at the designs of vintage patterns and see all the pretty drawings on them. Because I am seamstress I have never sewn any vintage pattern. I draw my own patterns to make sure they fit, but I am going to test out couple just to see how the measurements are compared to modern measurements.

I love vintage patterns not only because they give me a chance to get a glimpse of the past, but also because they’re beautiful and much more flattering for my figure than contemporary patterns. Clothes in stores and patterns you find are always cut in a way to flatter skinny girls, and I have curves! And I have no intent to hide them! Also, here in Brazil we don’t have companies that make patterns. We have one or two sewing magazines that come with patterns. And they’re always hideous! Thank you for the lovely giveaway! I sure hop I win it! :)

That fabric is killer. I sew vintage patterns fairly regularly- they have so much personality. I especially love sewing patterns that have been used, I like imagining what the other owner was making back in the day.

What a fantastic giveaway—I’m drooling over that luscious fabric! Anyway, my entry: I love vintage patterns and sew with them quite often. I find what attracts me is the attention to detail, the figure-flattering silhouettes (especially with 50s patterns!) and super-feminine look that I can’t find in a lot of rtw. Plus, some of the older patterns are a real challenge to figure out how to put together—and I’ve learned a lot of new techniques through vintage patterns too. Can’t imagine sewing without them! ;)

I love the style of so many vintage patterns – and usually they suit me. With my grandmothers old dresses these handmade items are my favorite ones in my wardrobe.
And congratulations – hooray hooray hooraaaaayyyyy…

I haven’t sewn a vintage pattern, yet, but I enjoy browsing through old patterns at online shops. My mother was an avid seamstress, so every now and then I recognize a pattern from the late 60s or early 70s that she used. What a wonderful giveaway.

That looks like a stunning giveaway, I’ve only made my own pattern from vintage instructions. Though that was hard in itself. Hope you have a great Christmas!

What a pretty neckline…but really I am coveting the fabric! I got into buying and sewing with vintage and repro patterns about 4 years ago. Sometimes they are a pain, but the results always get me compliments and “where DID you get that dress?” questions. It’s awesome to have one-of-a-kind outfits. Thanks for a great giveaway.

Vintage patterns are just so feminine and sexy. I have sewn several and am a contributor at the Sew Retro blog. I LOVE this giveaway. Excuse me while I wipe the drool from my chin.

I have sewn with vintage patterns for my daugters and would love to make myself an outfit.
Than you for this generous and lovely giveaway.

I have tried and am still working on it as I am not sure about some of the instructions :S

I found vintage patterns to be inspiring, from the pattern illustration to the minimal instructions. I love the challenge of working with a pattern that might be missing a piece or two, it allows me to be creative. Vintage patterns allow you to produce a unique garment.

I love vintage sewing patterns because… well, that’s just where my tastes are. Not exclusively, but generally. Goodness knows they aren’t easier than modern patterns. Also, I have used vintage patterns before, thank you for asking. Both reprints and actually old paper. Right now I am putting a zipper into a sweet 60s dress. The earliest I’ve ever used was something from the 40s.
I follow.

Ooh, what a wonderful giveaway!
I like vintage patterns because I love their look… I don’t know why but the 50s pin-up, rockabilly style rocks my world… I’m also in love with the sleek elegance of the 20s. I haven’t ever sewn from an actual vintage pattern, though – I’m still a beginner at sewing.

I love vintage patterns, especially collecting and oggling them. I have never sewn from one though. I’m afraid of ruining a little piece of history. I would love this pattern though in a size 32 and the would definitely make it! Thanks for the giveaway!
I tried to “follow” you via typepad facebook. Don’t know if it worked.

I recently completed a Decades of Style pattern, which as I understand it, is a reprint of a vintage pattern. It’s a adorable caplet jacket. I made it in white cotton fabric, too lite for the winter months. I really enjoyed making it, and liked to make it again, in a different fabric. I only have two actual old patterns, and I have yet to make them. One of the patterns I already traced the pattern on tracing paper but I’m nervous about the next step (for me) grading it up. N-E-Way I’ve been following your blog for awhile ( I think I was #15 to join) So enter me for a chance to win those fabulous prizes.

Love the pattern! I use vintage patterns all the time. I find the instructions easier to follow than modern patterns (which my friends think is crazy!) Maybe I like them just because I grew up using old 60s patterns from my grandma’s stash :)

I love vintage patterns and the one you are giving away is especially beautiful. I have made quite a few articles of clothing from vintage patterns including my winter coat that I am putting together right now. I love the unique cut from the 1960’s and the way they make my already curvy body look even more curvy! Thanks for offering this giveaway to your readers!

I’ve sewn one reproduction vintage skirt but I dream of so much more. Just waiting for classes to be over to devote serious time to sewing.

Hi. I love my vintage patterns, since I seem to fit to the size chart much better than the modern ones. I usually use my book “Professorinde Ella Lunds Store Sybog” or translated “Professora Ella Lund’s Large Sewing Manual” from 1954. It is accompanied by 48 pattern sheet. The book has patterns for babies, children, teenagers, women and men, but mostly teens and women. Wonderful resource.
That teal colour is just perfect for me.

i love love sewing, and vintage is my fav style. it is so great to be able to create my own clothes in the style i love. i have sewn a few vintage patterns before, and with all the re-sizing, and pattern fixing i’ve had to do, it usually takes me way longer then a modern patter. but the end result is sooooo great.
and i love love this giveaway!

I have only recently started to take vintage patterns seriously. I really have no place for many fancy dresses in my life, especially now that it’s officially winter in NY, but I really want to work on something special. Something special to make me feel special even if it’s just while I take photos of the finished dress. Is that silly? I hope not, cause it’s true ;o)

I haven’t yet sewn a vintage pattern but I have a couple (and I’m still learning so I haven’t really sewn much at all yet!) I really like fashion history which is why sewing vintage patterns appeals to me.

I’ve not sewn a real vintage pattern but I have a few of the retro releases in my stash just waiting for me to improve my skills before being tackled! The vintage styles are so chic & elegant compared to many of those today. I find that they highlight the parts I want emphasized & lowlight (!) those I don’t.

Wow!! How awesome!!! I love vintage patterns…they remind me of my Great Grandmother who could look at a dress in the store and go home and make her own version without a pattern!!! I have yet to sew with one yet….I do use vintage for inspiration though!!!!

My goal (when sewing) is not to recreate garments of the past, but to sew all those beautiful dresses I picture in my mind with, of course, a perfect fit. And since I find the cut more flattering and elegant in old patterns they are the ones I end up using.
I also I love the beautiful drawings on the pattern envelopes. Once in a while I take out my grey plastic box that contains my small collection, open it and browse through them. It’s a great source of inspiration!

I adore how much more dressed up everyone was in past eras! That’s why I love vintage patterns, they’re so much classier than today’s clothes! Also, I love sewing vintage pajamas. Today’s patterns for pajamas are usually oversized, flannel, and unisex but vintage pajamas are so much prettier and more feminine!

Ooh! I love vintage patterns for their fit. I’m a pear shapped girl and the 50’s patterns are so made for me.
Love!

I have never sewn a true vintage pattern since I can not afford them being a poor student with lots of debt. All I can do is gawk at them. LOL.
You should know it was very easy to follow you. I didn’t encounter a single problem! I just signing using my google account and allowing it to follow typepad. Easy as pie.

Great giveaway! I adore vintage fashion, especially since it seems to endure even though current styles change at a fast pace. I sew mostly 60’s patterns, as they flatter my thin figure, but hope to build up experience to sew some more elaborate garments. Sewing is heaven…

As someone who’s bustier than that pattern is, I’m thrilled you’ve tweaked your giveaway! I’d love to try working with a vintage pattern, and that material looks gorgeous.

I actually haven’t sewn any vintage patterns. I never had the confidence to make all the changes necessary to fit me. That has changed after reading yours and other blogs. I would love to have a chance at making one.

I love vintage patterns because they come from eras that flatter my figure, vintage clothes make me feel feminine and beautiful in ways that modern clothes can’t always do. I have never actually sewn a vintage pattern but I would love the opportunity to try! Love, love, love your blog!!

I’ve used patterns new and old, and love to read the older sets of instructions…it’s interesting to see what they took for granted and what is spelled out more in each era. I especially love when pattern companies reissue classic patterns updated for modern equipment and sizes.

What a great giveaway – I’m pleased you’ve opened it up to include a store credit, I’d never fit my bust into that lovely dress!
I like vintage patterns for lots of reasons. Their measurements usually fit me pretty accurately and 40s styles flatter my shape. They often have beautiful details and finishes on collars, sleeves etc. And, by buying vintage patterns, you’re making a connection with a woman of the same size and tastes as you from 70 years ago. Touching what she touched, thinking about colours for the same skirt. It’s a mini time machine!
