I LOVE vintage dress patterns
for all of their uses. Okay, maybe NOT for making dresses.
for all of their uses. Okay, maybe NOT for making dresses.I don't have the figure for vintage styles or their sizing. But otherwise like a Native American with a buffalo, I find a use for every part.
The models are all so charming and have perfect flowing lines.
They don't have cluttery backgrounds so are easy to cut out and alter.

And their clothing matches other vintage items from their era (like this blue number on a matching blue bridge tally card!)
While I used the heads on ATCs (for sale in my etsy shop shortly), the legs did not get thrown out with the scraps. This pair found use on a greeting card. The pattern tissue? I use it for gift wrap and for packing my sold etsy items.
Reduce, reuse, upcycle!

Hate to say it but I recognize these patterns...made the dresses, too! I still have some of them but did get rid of a ton of them on freecycle.
I like to use the tissue for backgrounds.

You DO rock!!!!!!!
these are adorable, and I have always fancied pattern art of the 60's too!
THESE are so great, sweet Nath! WOW, I love your ATC and your cards. You are the best, kiddo, and yes, you Rock.
