PREACH. OMG. If I had a nickel for every time this popped up in my feed over the last 10 years...

@StephanieCanada 4 года назад

We would all be very rich! Cause this thing is crazy when it does come up.

@missbirdybird2071 4 года назад

Thank you!! When I first found this Wiki page I was so confused about where the actual patterns were and have been avoiding it ever since. Sounds like there are actually some pretty cool ways to use it :)

@StephanieCanada 4 года назад

There really are! I am glad I helped clear up some confusion.

@alexandraleigh 2 года назад

Thank you again for the heads up I had been busting for over 3 years to find a copy of McCall's 5225 from the '40s and Nearly went down that rabbit hole of 83,000 free patterns you saved me the trouble and I went to Copa's Pattern Archive and found the pattern front cover and Layout. I may have better luck making one in my size from my own Basic pattern blocks then killing myself finding a reprint in my Size I'm 6 foot 1 and have some fit issues for sure LOL

The reason why it cuts right after the Buzzfeed joke is because the cameraman is laughing hysterically for several seconds afterward...

10/10 saving this to send anyone else who tags me in this frickin stupid clickbait. It's such a good website why they gotta do it dirty like that. Also, that Mccall's 9557 pattern - I have two vintage (store made) robes JUST like it and now I am gonna hunt it dooown.

@StephanieCanada 4 года назад

Thank you so much! Trust me I hate the dang thing as much as anyone. Plus, I was tired of writing a small novel every time I saw it.

@liderh12 3 года назад

So excited to learn people can add posts. I recently picked up several Ladies Home Journal patterns that are not listed yet.

@StephanieCanada 3 года назад

Oh absolutely! They have messed with the formatting a bit since I launched this, but it is basically the same to add a new pattern.

@zenlocke 2 года назад

Thanks for this video stephanie! i'm about two and a half hours into this hobby, and this site confused the hell outta me! I have a question- why is there no real pdf archive of vintage sewing patterns online? or if there is, why is it so hard to find? i'm sure its because these are copyrighted like books but i can pretty easily find any vintage book or comic or movie or what have you online somewhere, why are sewing patterns specifically so rare? is it because nobody wants to kill their business selling physical copies?

@suzyhair1158 11 месяцев назад

I LOVE Lilli Ann dresses, suits and coats from 1940's and 1950's. I'm not a strict vintage sewer but I'll take details from old patterns. Thank you for the resources.

Thanks for the info. I had never seen that site before. Kind of interesting when you're just looking at the covers (my favorite thing to do). I went to your website also and was going to favorite it on my toolbar and guess what -- I already had! I believe I bought something from you this past year. Small world. Enjoying your videos and just subscribed.

Hello I love your channel ! And love of course sewing vintage clothing but sometimes grading is not easy , speacially with full bust adjustment .. I would like to found some patterns like house of foxy ..

You are right grading isn’t easy. But the end product is so worth it!

I discovered that post yesterday, looking for a vintage pattern and got really confused trying to access the pattern I want. Not too tech savvy so just ended up getting really angry and frustrated. I will have to go over your post a few times to find out how to get what I want. Thanks for your help.

@randybobandy4000 Год назад

Even if there was a repository of 83000 free vintage patterns on the internet...I would still want to buy the physical pattern, I'm assuming a lot of people that like vintage patterns like me are fans of vintage ephemera in general and just enjoy having things that are really old that you can hold in your hands.

@TheVelvetKitten 3 года назад

OMG you know how many people in my dang life tell me that free vintage patterns are now available online!? OMG yes it is so so so annoying. SO ANNOYING. You know, watching this has upped my motivation to sit down at the thrift store and go thru the huge glut they have to weed out the 5-20 patterns they have that are almost free (cheap) … just takes such a huge amount of time. And now … we're all in masks. I don't sell, but dang man I am a pattern appreciator and lover and maker.

@StephanieCanada 3 года назад

Oh I know, thrifting in masks is a pain but at least we are trying to stay safe! If you share your scores on IG or Twitter be sure to tag me (BackroomFinds) as I love to see what others find. Happy hunting!

@megknitsstuff1727 Год назад

There should just be a rule that if you are seeing something on your timeline about a craft you don’t actively participate in online, anyone you’ve seen post more than twice regarding said craft saw it 3+ months ago. So just don’t. 😂

@lynn858 3 года назад

... Fortunately people in my life are well aware that you NEVER send anyone a link to anything without checking it out yourself, at least substantially, first. It's like mansplaining. Do I have reason to believe that this information is something which the recipient, who has a stated interest in this subject matter, won't have encountered already? Is this information new? Nuanced? A different take? Are you sharing it in order to discuss it with the recipient or get their opinion on it?

@Ketutar 3 месяца назад

Yes. Had it been marketed for what it is meant for, I would have been just as enthusiastic, but now... bah. Clickbait works once. Then it has the exact opposite effect.
