Lately I’ve been amusing myself with making clothes with vintage patterns. Ones from the late 1920s and early-to-mid 1930s are my favorites. There was such elegance to cuts of the period, to the draping of fabric, and – last but not least – to the pattern illustrations. Although I must say the patterns themselves are not my favorites. They’re filmy thin, unprinted (which is fine) but this makes copying them onto usable paper is more of a chore than usual because the unprinted edges are kinda hard to see. On the other hand? You’re free to do with them as you please: reproduce them, sell clothes made of them, publish them anywhere you like. They’re old enough to be, mostly, out of copyright. Isn’t that cool?
