Yay! They’re finally here!💕 Be sure to like & subscribe so RUclips notifies you of future sewing videos.
Loved the intro through the time machine! I had no idea you could get these old patterns or reproductions. One of my first big school projects in the 1960’s was a dress and matching coat. The lining of the coat matched the dress. My teacher/mentor taught us tailoring in high school. So lucky! I still have the ensemble and I’m in my 70’s. 😊
wow! thank you for sharing your lovely memories. i love hearing stories like yours. the fact that one of your 1st projects was a dress and matching coat encourages me to keep doing what may seem impossible. ❤️💕
The intro was one of the most relaxing things ever !!
aww i’m so glad to hear it!!🥰🫶💕
Check out Angela Clayton’s sewing through the decades series. She talks a lot about unprinted patterns and what the perforations mean on certain patterns! I think the videos are 1910-1950s ones before she makes it to printed patterns
Will do. That’ll be so helpful. Thank you! ❤️
Just when I was about to complement your Friendly Neighbourhood Mail Man, it turns out you took a turn in your time machine... that's fair. lol.
Damn. Those are *good* patterns. And so many are factory folded. It's a little intimidating, but it's really worth it in the end. From my mucking abouts, the pieces seem to be laid on top of each other, piece 'a' on top through down to 'z'. That paper has been in that configuration for over 50 years - it will make it easier to put away back into the envelope when you're done.
OK. So my 'received intelligence from the YT Sewing Hive Mind' says that you take a dry iron, low heat, and iron out the pattern pieces (you also iron them back into their folded position when you're putting the pattern away - you do you).
There's these rolls of paper that are either numbered or called 'cross & dot' drafting paper. You can special order it from your local independent sewing store or order online from one of the big companies. One roll will do you for most of a lifetime. I lay out the pattern pieces and trace everything in pencil - every perforation, every dot, every letter (which keeps you from copying a piece backwards) every tear. The information that you need is going to be laid out in the pattern lay-out illustrations, the instructions and the back of the envelop. Somewhere in there is buried the seam allowance... why they make it so hard to find... Anywho, the information is scattered, happy hunting.
After tracing I start on doing the usual alterations for FBA, sway back, short waisted, short armed, curvy waistband and body that I do for every pattern. One of these days I'll finally get around to building a pattern block based off of the vintage patterns I've been mucking around with.

When you say “somewhere in there is buried the seam allowance” are you referring to the blank style of pattern pieces with no writing on them? I was wondering whether or not we’re supposed to add seam allowance. Then I read somewhere that it’s usually included within it.
@@CindyLeaux Yes, the patterns usually include seam allowance. Usually it's 5/8th of an inch, but it can vary. This is true for both the printed & the unprinted pieces.
If you need to make any alterations it's usually easiest to do that from the sewing line.
Great advice
Please make ALL versions of #2474 -we must see them!! 🙌✨✨✨
oooh yes! when i sew it, i will include video of the instructions so you guys can see it all ❤️
Just lovely ✨🌸✨🪡✨
Thank you ✨🥰💕
Great clue on Simplicity 7032!🕵️ 😊 I guessed correctly! 👩 🎀💄That episode was one of the best 💖 Looking forward to seeing how you bring these patterns to life in the future 😊
Yay! Yes! That episode was so good for fashion 😍 Would love to find her strappy black dress too from the same episode 😍💕
This is very nostalgic!! I learned to sew during the 1960s. 😊
That’s awesome! 🥰
Me too….I’m so enjoying watching these.
Simplicity 4929 is pretty similar to Charm Pattern's Rita blouse and you can find the full tutorial on youtube. I think this can help you a lot to make yours 😊
Omg you’re an actual angel. Thank u so much!! 😍❤️
I can't believe you got so many patterns in such great condition! Congratulations and many happy sewing 🎉🥳
Thank you so much! 🙏😍
I love love LOVE your videos, Cindy. I'm always happy dancing with you! I can't wait to see you use these patterns. Especially that simplicity 1950s ball gown - WOW. When you use patterns that are already cut, do you think about the person that used them before you? I wish i could see the ball gown they made with that pattern.
Yay! I’m so happy you’re enjoying! I will be sharing a new sewing video very soon and am so happy to know that others get just as much joy out of these little videos, haha. And yes, I do think of those who made the patterns before. It’s so lovely to imagine! Maybe that’s why I also get so giddy when I get pattern books that show patterns fully made. There’s a beautiful picture of the Simplicity ball gown being modeled in a 1954 counter catalog. It’s on the vintage pattern fandom site but I will also share the picture in a post when I make the dress.❤️💕
Hello Cindy, from Japan❣️
Your works are so pretty and videos are relaxing 😌
I’m not good at English, so I may missed something , but really happy if you tell me where you get vintage patterns like these.
I love old clothes and I tried to find patterns several times, but I couldn’t.
Maybe they cannot be bought in my country😣
ありがとう！北米では、骨董品店、不動産販売、eBay で見つけることができます。日本でも同じかは分かりませんが、ぜひ見つけて楽しんでいただければ幸いです。
Thank you so much for your help! I’ll continue to look for. And I am looking forward to your new videos❤
The first pattern should have perforations (holes) to indicate what the pattern pieces are and things like notches, darts, etc. The older patterns don't have printed words on them.
Ahh I figured they had to give us some kind of guidance lol thank you ☺️
@@CindyLeaux I copy my vintage patterns, especially the unmarked ones, onto dot and cross paper (but any paper will do). That way I can start to write-in and draw-in the information that's hidden in the layout, directions and back of the envelope. It also helps me figure out what is an official mark and what is a tear. Plus, I already know I have to go through a bunch of alterations before I get to the final fit, so copying is just easier. And it saves the orignal for the next generation.

Oh Miss Cindy, what a lovely video! I wish i could afford to splurge on actual vintage patterns, but I've had to settle for the repros. I learned to sew in 1970, and the forst thing i ever made was a tote bag, and we did that in order to learn and practice French seams. I then made a little romper (facings for neck and armholes, and a zipper....which came out a bit uneven, but i loved that romper to death. It was pink gingham.) Then a jumpsuit, in order to learn inset sleeves, collar and working with double knit polyester, as it was called then. I started really learning how to sew seriously not long after that,and i bought a book by Simplicity, called "Learn To Sew". Its funny but all the patterns i had back then would be considered vintage now. I do actually have patterns from around 1980 still.
I enjoyed your Time Machine, that was pretty cool.
I'm going to have to give one of my repro vintage patterns a go one of these days.
Thank you so much for sharing! True vintage patterns are such a treasure and it’s really cool you got to experience them when they actually came out in the 70s. eBay is a great place to find affordable vintage patterns online but I also plan on giving away those extra patterns 🥰 ❤️
I found that, for decent ebay search results, if you search for your bust size ('vintage patterns - bust 38, or 'vintage patterns - 1930's') you can find deals at the live auctions (look for auctions that are closing quickly, the longer it's up there the more the algorithm will push it, the more likely there will be a bidding war). On the upside, there are dealers who set their prices lower because they just want these things to find a good home. You can find them if you look semi-regularly.
If you get a chance, check out some of Stephanie Canada's modern-vintage comparison videos. The repro's can be good, but you have to be prepared for the fact that they were redesigns by modern practitioners of the craft of pattern drafting. Basically - they're reproductions, not direct copies. The pattern companies went to the trouble of numbering everything. But did they keep copies? Nope. 'Fraid not. The Big Four Companies are inventing things based off the illustrations.
Happy sewing! I taught myself how to sew during the first lockdown. I have, um, enough vintage patterns. Maybe do an update on the romper?

@@stevezytveld6585 Thanks for the info! I am not that familiar with how eBay works but I'll check them out.
Superdisaointing to learn that about the pattern companies and their "retro" designs. I had NO idea. (How ever did you know that,btw?) Somehow it seems almost astounding that they wouldn't have kept original designs....!!
I'll check out Stephanie Canada. I did think of her but then got sidetracked or, um....OK I admit it. I just forgot!! One of the perks of getting older. My memory box seems to be shrinking lol!!
Although it's more along the lines of now I have grandchildren and in spite of having retired 4 years ago, I don't seem to be less busy!
Also congratulations on teaching yourself to sew!! I've been sewing (and knitting) since I was 13. My English grandmother taught me to knit, and I learned sewing in Home Ec at school (but my Swedish "Farmor" was an excellent seamstress, and I seem to have inherited her passion for sewing). I never get tired of them. And once you know how to do things, it's wonderful. I'm crazy about the sewing community here on YT. I have lots of books about sewing techniques, but I still learn new things here!
@@johannaholmgren8088 I fell *hard* down that YT rabbit hole that is vintage and historic sewing. I had discovered Bernadette Banner just before the first lockdown - suddenly I had a whole lot of time and just enough sewing supplies to put things together. I also had about zero budget so I started with self-drafting a circle skirt, a pencil skirt and a bodice block. The 'lives' that everybody was doing back then really helped - I could ask questions in real time.
I'm generally not impressed with the modern sewing patterns - I find them box-y and without any real shaping. Plus, I'm apparently masochistic enough to enjoy the challenge of vintage patterns? I think it was a combination of Stephanie Canada and the Vintage Pattern Wiki that I learned about the insanity of the Big Four Companies not keeping their original designs.
I've built up a little library of vintage sewing books. There is always going to be something to learn.
It's wonderful that the women in your life taught you how to knit and sew. My Maternal Great Granny could apparently 'eye of rock' a pattern based off of an illustration she'd find in the newspaper. That generation knew So much.
Any of the grandkids showing an interest in sewing yet?
@@stevezytveld6585 I have 5 grandchildren, 2 of them are girls. Both the girls are tomboys, but one is 3 so too young just yet, and the other will be 8 in August. I bought her a little sewing kit for Christmas a year ago, and we've been working on our hand-sewing. When she comes over, she gets her little sewing kit out and we choose a project. Her hand-sewing is really good considering everything, so once we've finished up her projects, I'll start her on machine sewing. I'm looking at getting her a little basic Singer. (I've always been a Singer fan. I just gave my 35 year old Singer workhorse to my daughter in law, because I have a Brother with embroidery capabilities, but I'm still more of a Singer fan, sooooo.....) I'm finally investing in a dress form. It only took me forever.
My daughter has a friend like you: she wanted to be able to make her clothes (better quality, you can personalize the fit etc) and had approached me to sew for her--although that didn't work out, since she could never make it for even a fitting--but then decided to start learning herself
Like you she figured out a circle skirt pattern. She suddenly became pregnant though (a very exciting happening, she and her husband have been trying for ages,but thought they'd never be blessed with children) so her sewing journey is on hold for now.
I have truly vintage sewing books: a Vogue book from 1943, I LOVE how they worked to make use of everything because there was a war on ("Just because fabrics are limited due to the war, doesn't mean you can't still sew fashionable clothing!"). I have one I bought new in 1970 (it came out that year and cost me a dollar!) as well as a whole collection from the 1980s....they are vintage NOW, but then they were new! I still use all of them.
So many great patterns! I'm envious!!😻😍
Thank you! Giveaways coming soon 🥰
I can't wait until you make something wonderful again 😊. I wonder what you will make next😊?
Yes, until now I hadn’t sewn anything since February but I’m sewing again. This project is more “formal” than the others so it’s taking a little more time. Can’t wait to share 🥰
4968 is my favorite
isn’t it a dream? the sewing of that dress is on my channel
Where do you order from
the original 4968 is a bit hard to find.m but etsy has a digital pdf version ❤️
