I used to be head designer in the Fashion department at Maudella back in the late 70's and through the 80's and 90's. They were the only English pattern company left at that time and it was still a family firm. I too have a great stash of the 50's patterns that I salvaged from the storeroom when they had a big clearout one day and took boxes and boxes of them all to the tip because no one wanted them but me!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512151224022821706.post-21781811922618124942014-01-26T12:24:33.672-08:002014-01-26T12:24:33.672-08:00Hello Victoria,

It`s my start to the growing year, with hopes of better weather attached. Your vintage sewing patterns are lovely. I haven`t made any clothe for ages, but I`m considering looking into a vintage dress for an upcoming wedding I have to attend in September. So, I`m hoping to find something I like and still have time to make it before then.

You try and find a pattern that isn't in American sizes....cos that's where they are printed now, so I was told at the fabric shop. All different prices too. The most expensive were in the Vogue book.......29 flippin pounds ! Got one off the market, half price £4 instead of £7.99. But still had to faff about cos it was still American size. Anyway, cut out the dress and the neckline is still a bit big. I will fix it cos I love the material and won't waste it. But it was going to be my Christmas dress,ha........yeah, maybe next Christmas.Caz.P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11206843820602358144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512151224022821706.post-14069199360488075502014-01-24T13:30:51.777-08:002014-01-24T13:30:51.777-08:00What lovely old things.

I'm NOT brilliant at dressmaking (not a lot of time either) but I think she had a good point - there's a market opening there somewhere.<br /><br />I loved the tin (it reminded me of my 1950s childhood). And the material - so soft and loved and of its time. You get to find some lovely old things<br /><br />Fingers crossed I can find some interesting bits at the "field" auction tomorrow . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512151224022821706.post-20419154327515390622014-01-24T13:22:04.774-08:002014-01-24T13:22:04.774-08:00What a find..both the tin and the patterns!
