Vintage sewing patterns

I have a sewing machine, but I'm not much of a seamstress.  And I really admire those who are.  I know that sewing takes a lot of patience, which may be the reason I'm not very successful at it.

When I was young, a neighbor sewed most of the clothes my sisters and I wore.  The dresses she made for me were some of the ones I remember most.  One of the dresses had a full skirt and when I twirled around, the skirt would come completely out in a circle.  Another of the dresses was blue.  It was the dress I loved to have on when I received a gold star at school and the teacher stuck it on my dress.

So, I have an affinity for handmade clothing and for vintage patterns.  I have a number of patterns listed in my Zibbet shop and will be adding more.  You can find them here.  These are the patterns I currently have listed:
