oh my heart this sewing pattern cabinet...if only I lived near Parma, ID. Someone please score this awesome piece and get that non-sewing crap out of the drawers!

Freezing rainstorm incoming. Putting some emergency prep stuff in our basement is always on our list to do, but we never get around to it. Some water, some long-storage food...what else do you keep on hand for storms, floods, neighbouring countries trying to take you over, that kind of thing?

If you live near Franklin, NC and like to sew, these old sewing weights are pretty nifty (auction closes April 2). I'm always amazed that so few of the vintage patterns I buy and sell have any pinholes in the pieces. Is using pins mainly a 70s-to-current-day thing?

Well, poop. Itching to work all day listing digitized pattern repros, but Covid-19 had other plans for me. I did manage to list this adorable baby cardi pattern today, one of my best sellers...because picot edging + baby = explosive cuteness!

I just realized I should post the rebranded patterns I've been able to post to my new Etsy shop...I'll start with this adorable 1940s bias-cut, panties pattern. This digitized pattern includes letter/A4, A0, and projector formats. www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1...

I'm working hard to rebrand my 300+ digitized vintage knitting, crochet, macrame and tatting patterns to post them in my rebranded Etsy shop....but it's slow going, because I can't help but tweak them all as I go....
