I can't wait either.<br /><br />Susan: You are so going to catch that bug one day, and I'm going to love to read about it.<br /><br />T: I looked for a date, but no luck. Really makes me want to put bits of history in all of my patterns for the next (potential) generation. You should find your drama teacher and figure out if you've got her relative's patterns. So cool!<br /><br />Clio: That's just it! Where did she wear this? Can't imagine that Fletcher was the most cosmopolitan place... I hope she felt beautiful. Is she still alive??K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-88388641890817684232012-01-29T18:55:20.420-05:002012-01-29T18:55:20.420-05:00How cool!

It really pins it to a particular date and place.<br /><br />I haven't had a really annotated vintage pattern yet, but I got several over Christmas with the same lady's name on, and, based on her surname and where they were purchased, she might well be a relative of my high school drama teacher. Which is a tingly sort of connection. :)Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-68547007790404050912012-01-29T18:22:45.855-05:002012-01-29T18:22:45.855-05:00I haven't caught the vintage bug myself yet bu...I haven't caught the vintage bug myself yet but enjoy it when others do, and love this story of the woman who owned your pattern.Susan Tinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11900811284963063686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-55398681402000754562012-01-29T15:33:41.776-05:002012-01-29T15:33:41.776-05:00Touching history is engaging no matter how you com...Touching history is engaging no matter how you come by it.

These coins were Very old but also Very worn. I turned the conversation more toward where do you think this has been? How long did someone save this? to buy a new tool or horse or a pair of shoes? to pay a school teacher or a seamstress? It was fascinating to think about history that way and hold part of it in our hands.<br />Enjoy your treasures!Kimbersewhttp://www.seamstresskim.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-57649730771933221232012-01-29T13:21:29.563-05:002012-01-29T13:21:29.563-05:00How cool, I love when people's histories show ...How cool, I love when people's histories show up in weird places. :DElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132893252354008820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-13653732652533522142012-01-29T10:06:24.034-05:002012-01-29T10:06:24.034-05:00M: I did think about that and then I decided it co...M: I did think about that and then I decided it couldn't possibly apply to this pattern. :-) Of course, since the finished waist measurement is 33", the likelihood is there. I'm going to have to pay careful attention and muslin.

I believe vintage patterns were designed for a b cup like modern patterns? So a pattern that has your bust measurement may be huge in the rib cage and elsewhere... I have a 38" bust but I buy 34" or 36" bust in vintage because my high bust is 34".Mikhaela Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817367214920267825noreply@blogger.com
