I didn't technically make any New Year's resolutions (and I usually don't anyway) but I definitely feel the urge to straighten up and organize things.
To that end, I have been trying to scan my vintage patterns so that A) I can keep track of what I own, and B) I don't totally destroy them by dragging them out every couple of weeks to paw over them. In theory I can check out the yardage requirements if I'm scooting out to fabric-shop over my lunch hour, too. (Although I do already have fabric for Ms. McCall's 9666 up there.)
Then, when I've gotten really organized I can start posting them to this and posting pictures of garments I've actually made from them. Someday.
When I started collecting them I was heavily into the 50's patterns. I still am, but am also finding myself thoroughly charmed by the super-simple mod patterns such as this lovely lady.
I've even found myself eyeing a 70s-era pattern(!). I'm going to have to draw the line somewhere—nothing past 1979 for me...the 80's were not a good thing, fashion-wise as far as I'm concerned.
