Vintage Finds: March 28
This past weekend I did a quick stop at the Alemany Flea Market. If not for a "one more look around," I would have left empty-handed. In the last twenty minutes I found these four patterns for $3 total and this black felt tilt hat for $10 (she was asking $15). The hat looks like a muppet when photographed liked this, but trust me, it's cute. Or, at least I like it. It does have a little poodle look to it, but a 1940s hat for $10 does not merit a complaint!
I'm most excited about Advance 5822 (even though those stoles seem easy enough to make without a pattern). Advance 6480 seems like it would make an amazing formal dress!
Oh I’m so jealous of the seemingly abundance of vintage patterns in the USA – I really don’t think it would be possible to find decent vintage patterns at markets in the UK…well definately not in Northern Ireland anyway!
I am drooling over the Advance patterns!
Wow, I just love a good find and this is great!
