My great-grandmother's good china set went to my grandma, and now my sister, and nobody down that line has ever really used it! I understand not wanting to damage something that's irreplaceable, but it's sad to have beautiful things and keep them boxed up for decades.

I just love the simplicity and versatility, but it's just so CLASSY at the same time! And I really feel your zipper problems and just leaving everything as it turns out. I do that too, so it's refreshing to see someone else admit it!<br />I agree with you on the vintage fabric. Would I sew with messed up new fabric? No. But vintage fabric is..... better than new. .... It's vintage. So of course it's usable!Emileigh https://www.blogger.com/profile/13683866769745929646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659360650582709851.post-68166451182897774002013-05-08T13:54:39.729-05:002013-05-08T13:54:39.729-05:00I was having a similar discussion regarding the fi...I was having a similar discussion regarding the finite supply of vintage patterns and textiles the other day with my husband. We went to an estate sale at a two-flat that had been in the same family since 1928; it was most recently occupied by two sisters who were both seamstresses. The amount of fabric, trim and patterns they'd collected were unreal. I wanted to buy it all. I wish I had. I actually got sad on the way home thinking about how the generation likely to have held on to these treasures were now largely deceased or on their way out. Someday it will be gone.

I wear them so often and not one of them is black - I've got khaki, seafoam green, red and brown flecked wool. Okay so maybe 4 - and the brown one has a bit more flare on the gores past the hip. But still - they are just the best kind of skirt! <br /><br />Yours is darling too - I think I want a navy one now!<br />And the shirt - good idea of doing a pattern piece for each sleeve etc! I've only just started tracing vintage patterns (shhhhh) and didnt think to do this. Need to get on the feedsack bandwagon and see if any of my patterns would fit the bill ;-)Eszhttp://kittysdrawings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659360650582709851.post-50910707632431186742013-05-08T02:25:52.952-05:002013-05-08T02:25:52.952-05:00I LOVED love your printed blouse so much and I'...I LOVED love your printed blouse so much and I'm with you --I just adore vintage fabric!
