Vintage Veil Patterns

Some of my vintage veil patterns. McCall 1490 is from the 1930s, Butterick 3753 is from 1970s and Vogue 9822 from the 1980s.

Aren't they lovely?

Vintage Turban Patterns

Simplicity 5572 - 1973 set of turbans pattern

Turbans have long been a fascination of mine. 
I find they have a certain air of glamour and mystery no matter how they are worn.
Maybe because I associate them with the elegant movie stars of old that used to wear them with that glorious siren quality.

Simplicity 5227 - 1963 accessory pack icluding turban

These are the vintage turban patterns currently in my collection. 

They're all 1960s and 1970s patterns, so they're more Elizabeth Taylor than Louise Brooks or Greta Garbo.

Vogue 6121 - 1964 'easy to make' turban styled hats

Simplicity 5572 is the first one on my list but I'd really like to try them all.

McCall's 2379 - 1960s three hats pattern

Vintage Bag Patterns - Part 1

While my love for vintage patterns encompasses every kind of pattern, vintage accessory patterns are my biggest love. Whether they are hats, bags, gloves, scarves, belts, etc, irrespective of decade or style, I love them all.

I'll be sharing some of my vintage patterns here and I'm starting today with some of my vintage bag patterns. 

1943 - Du Barry 5763

1968 - McCalls 9291

1963 - McCalls 6794

2001 - Vogue 7252 - Historical Purses

 

1940s? - Talon College Catch-All

Vogue accessories 7531

The only bag I've made from these so far is the Vogue 7531 boho bag which I love (I've shared it here) and I plan to remake it with various alterations -resizing, adding pockets and changing the handle somewhat.

But that's a tale for another day....
