Vintage Patterns - mint condition!

A lot of op-shopping lately - it's rather therapeutic I find. I love getting lost in the manchester and haberdashery (great words, pity they aren't used more).


So a while back I found these for the rather bargain price of 50c each ("they're a bit old dear" said the lady at Chapman Op Shop, also commenting that they would be unlikely to fit me(!)



Rather lovely. I was offered $5 for the second one by a retro-chic lady at a local market (!), but I can't part with the first one. It may need to be framed...

I framed a few of mine just like these and put them in my stairwell to my sewing room. I laugh evertime I walk past them.
