We used to catch the train to Town Hall and walk from there. At some stage Farmers changed to Grace Bros and later on to Myer. So, perhaps your pattern originated in Australia. <br />http://www.sydneyarchitecture.com/cbd/cbd4-055.htmPam @Threading My Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990609128028224347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-82894483630155788072015-02-08T07:58:53.991+11:002015-02-08T07:58:53.991+11:00Vintage is 20 years or older coming from the word ...Vintage is 20 years or older coming from the word 'vingt' in french meaning 20.... so counting back anything 20 years or more is vintage Simple!!!!<br />except I am feeling old now I know 1995 is a vintage year!!<br />bestest daisy j xxAshley cramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00685052671389691119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-13159007449817747482015-02-07T23:25:34.454+11:002015-02-07T23:25:34.454+11:00A couple of years ago the Oscars ceremony was awas...A couple of years ago the Oscars ceremony was awash with vintage dresses and they were talking about last season, so I guess the definition of vintage is relative :) <br />A vintage haberdashery sounds like my idea of heaven too, I am not surprised that you didn't have time to explore the rest of the shop Pam!Celtic Thistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033484481693226138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-81833537962618443512015-02-06T13:48:17.857+11:002015-02-06T13:48:17.857+11:00I can't read patterns, I seem to have a mental...I can't read patterns, I seem to have a mental block, so the new patterns are easier for me to understand. <br />I wish I had the figure to wear clothes from the 50's, because I would if I could!

I learned to sew in the 70's so that probably explains my hesitance in accepting that it could be vintage, LOLLLLLL. I was in the fabric store today with my neighbour - the cashier called me his mom. I'm 53 ... he's 41. I guess I just bypassed vintage and went right to antique, LOL!!!<br />Sandra :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16239494415344028806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-6713314957831814302015-02-06T10:25:11.900+11:002015-02-06T10:25:11.900+11:00I had that butterick pattern, I swear!

I never had a defined waist, a smaller one, and always smaller than my chest but now they would call it an athletic build. Clothing is a different animal that quilting. Only has to fit the bed, a rectangle like me!!

My friend gave me a vintage girl's cape pattern she bought at the markets (forgot which one), since I don't know anything about vintage patterns I have clearly never heard of the brand which was "Style". It has "Farmers" (NZ dpt store) stamped on the front so I guess it travelled from NZ! Tried to google the pattern # and came up with zilch, ha. Anyway, I am looking forward to sewing it this winter. And I will have to keep the Village Haberdashery in mind the next time I go up to the Blue Mt, hopefully soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-83162723233917538132015-02-05T12:27:01.457+11:002015-02-05T12:27:01.457+11:00Pam, the patterns you found are wonderful!

Since the sizing from those companies are usually off, I was wondering how they are in vintage patterns. So they used to be more accurate?

I have quite a few of those 1950s Australian Home Journals and I find the advertisements in them just as interesting as the articles. And I have that Butterick boys pattern but funnily enough mine is numbered Butterick 422 and has a dollar figure on it so it must be post 1966? http://loweryourpresserfoot.blogspot.com.au/2010/04/stop-sag.html Kristy Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07385704380789244157noreply@blogger.com
