I once cut a pattern for my daughter and then when she grew I wanted to make it again in the bigger size but I couldn't buy it again. I felt like I had totally wasted that $1.99 I'd paid. I didn't know anyone cut vintage patterns until recently on another blog. I thought people only cut new patterns.Cosmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08364487305473753277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218633955785619491.post-71344741966080942742011-04-27T01:16:01.633-07:002011-04-27T01:16:01.633-07:00I trace the pieces I know will need altering.

Yes it takes longer but it means I can shorten and adjust the pattern, and it doesn't matter if I pin it lots too. I even do this with modern ones now just because if I make them again in a different size I can just trace off the next size rather than buying a new pattern. This may ease your guilt a little.sorbetsurprisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641390039457024522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218633955785619491.post-54279769532842659822011-04-27T00:28:35.817-07:002011-04-27T00:28:35.817-07:00You could always trace the pattern, Tasia at Sewah...You could always trace the pattern, Tasia at Sewaholic did a nice little <a href="http://sewaholic.net/tracing-unprinted-vintage-patterns/" rel="nofollow">tutorial on tracing vintage patterns</a><br /><br />But as for that blouse (which is, <b>amazing</b>)- did you get it off eBay? If so you totally broke my heart as I was bidding on it, but it finished when I was asleep (live in Australia). Aaaah well I can't blame you if yes, you obviously have incredible taste! <br /><br />RL xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06438774909725959371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218633955785619491.post-2340730070535907692011-04-27T00:26:37.629-07:002011-04-27T00:26:37.629-07:00Haha, what a brilliant post...I know that guilty f...Haha, what a brilliant post...I know that guilty feeling very well!
