Etsy

Me again, once more here to shamelessly plug things rather than a post about sewing. 

I have opened an Etsy shop, due to the need to clear the spare room for an imminent arrival - I am due in August, gulp!  I did plan on making some maternity dresses but we shall see. 

So, at the moment I have some book page prints of vintage Vogue covers (lots from the 20s), plus a few vintage dresses, but will be listing more clothing plus sewing patterns and sewing magazines shortly, which might interest some of you.

For Sale - 1930s German Sewing Pattern Magazine

Well, I'm not here to blog, but rather to flog something - I have a 1937 German sewing pattern magazine for sale on eBay, which some of you might be interested in, find it here.

I somehow ended up with 2 of these, hence why I'm selling this one.  There are some stunning patterns, 91 in total, every outfit pictured inside (and on the cover), unlike some of the magazines which only have some.  It's in pretty good nick, plus the pattern sheets are untouched and in great shape.  For those of you not interested in bidding, I'm sure you wouldn't mind some delightful images for inspiration:
