It's really been much longer than I intended between posts. It's not that I haven't been crafting I think I've just been trying to spend less time on the computer. I spend all day on it and even now my eyes are tired. I spent Memorial Day weekend mostly in town but did venture to Santa Barbara for a day trip to visit my great-aunt. She had more
goodies for me, pictured here. I couldn't resist these boxes of ribbons, button makers and patterns. I've never seen button makers like those. They use two pieces of fabric, one ball in the center and a ring around it.
Vintage patterns are so inspirational! Do you have a favorite vintage pattern or something you're searching for?

Love vintage notions and buttons but they always seem too precious to actually use! You are lucky to get all those beautiful items from your great aunt.
ReplyDeleteBeth, I was at Santa Barbara too! My husband and I were visiting his mom. We didn't get any vintage notions tho. But I got some vintage buttons from an antique show in my town. It is so precious.
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures! What treasures! I love the vintage accessories patterns the most.
ReplyDeleteHey, I have Simplicity 5529 too! However, I still haven't made those super easy pants. Must get on that soon!
ReplyDeleteI seem to be on a never ending search for a pattern for vintage 30s/40s ski pants. High waist side buttons a v cut in the back..etc.
