Fuzzylizzie Pattern Store Closeout

As I announced here in April, I'm closing down my pattern sales site.

I have again slashed prices, and now most patterns are $5 or less. I'm in the process of moving them to a new etsy store, so shop both sites for some super buys in vintage patterns.

Vintage Sewing Patterns Reduced

As of the end of the year, I'm going to close my on-line vintage sewing pattern store. I have permanently reduced prices on 90% of the stock: patterns that were $15, are now $10 or $12, most children's patterns have been lowered to $6, and patterns that were over $20 have been reduced up to $10 off.

I will be continuing to add new designs, as I still have many from my years of collecting, so check back often for new styles.

Go HERE to see the almost 500 patterns, and thanks!

Biltmore Industries Homespun Shop

As a collector of vintage clothing I'm always happy to find things with a local label. One that I'm been wanting to find for a very long time is Biltmore Industries. Biltmore didn't make clothing, they made the cloth using old hand looms. The fabric was very high quality, and they advertised in the best fashion magazines.

So last week I was happy to find a 1960s jacket made from the blue wool pictured here. You can read all about it and see some early ads at The Vintage Traveler.

And I'm not the only person who loves their local labels. Check out VFG member Hollis's page on Louisville labels.

Sewing, Vintage Style

If you are having a hard time finding the vintage clothes you want, or if you are hard to fit, or if you just are afraid to wear your great vintage clothing because you are afraid of ruining it, a good solution to that problem might just be to make your own "vintage" clothing using vintage patterns. There are dozens of great vintage pattern sellers on the web, and etsy and ebay are also good sources of them. And to increase the fun, use vintage fabrics to get a very authentic look. You can start your search for the perfect vintage pattern at my webstore, Fuzzylizzie Vintage Patterns.

To see the dress I made from the great 1970s pattern above, and to read about the designer, Clovis Ruffin, visit my blog, The Vintage Traveler.
