I thought I'd share with you my first collection of vintage patterns that I bought recently. I bought a bundle of patterns from Ebay for £3.70. I chose these patterns as they were relatively inexpensive - being new to buying vintage patterns, it seems the asking price varies wildly! The patterns seem to range from the 1950s to the 1970s.
I was expecting 12 patterns but received a box with 20 patterns in it! The patterns are mainly Simplicity, Butterick, Style and Maudella. I'd not heard of Maudella patterns before, but a quick google informs me that this was a UK company set up by Maude Helena Dunsford in Yorkshire in 1937. Interesting fact - this pattern company became New Look, owned by Simplicity.
I have a couple of favourites already.Which would you stitch?
