A bit of shameless advertising...

(I didn't see any rules against this sort of post, but if this isn't allowed please let me know, or just delete.)

I am in the midst of trying to sell a LOT of vintage sewing patterns. Etsy has not been that great for me, so I am closing my Etsy shop. Enter coupon code MOVING for 25% off your entire order - CraftOverflowShop

I also have a shop on Zibbet I am still setting up, not much there yet - CraftOverflow

I have at least three hundred patterns still in boxes from the 40's onward though most of them are from the 50's - 70's. Many of them are uncut and mostly misses', juniors', and kids' sizes. If you're looking for something specific, let me know and I'll see what I have!

Thanks for looking! :)

Thanks for posting. :) I'm not looking for anything specific, but I collect patterns from the 30s, 40s, and 50s. I'm usually a 14 or 16 in older patterns (34"-28"-37" bust/waist/hip.) What kind of stuff do you have from that era?

[delladea]

From that era I mostly have dress patterns, some skirt patterns and a few nightgown/pajama patterns. There are a few more formal dresses, but most of them were more the more casual, everyday type styles. I have some older mail order patterns but most of what I have is from the big four and a couple of Advance patterns.

I gotta look through them later again, I'll get a sample together of what I have in 14-16.

Thanks for the link! Never heard of them before but it looks promising.

You're welcome! I've never tried to sell anything there, so I don't know how well things move, but it's got a ton of sewing enthusiasts on it and they may be more inclined to purchase vintage patterns.
