Vintage Butterick Patterns

There was another one, too it seems like. Can't think of the name. I remember the fiasco I made in Home Ec. Just a short-sleeved blouse, and it turned out terrible. My mom could make one, not even needing a pattern.

I never know how to sew.

I am no good in sewing and never was. My mother wanted me to learn specially when I got engaged. My poor husband bought me a machine and later realised how poor I was in stitching and he learnt to use it himself (lol)

My mom had an old Singer sewing machine but later years she used it as a table and did not sew anything, I remember the patterns and once asked mom if I could try to sew something, It seemed easy but I did not get very far not a sewing person at all I discovered,

I sewed many of my clothes and a few for my children.

I don’t have personal memories of McCall, but I’ve definitely seen some of those vintage patterns from the 60s! They have such a charming style. It’s interesting how sewing and crafting can be passed down through generations. I’ve always admired those who can sew; it seems like such a valuable skill. Did your mom or grandma make a lot of clothes? I’d love to hear more about the patterns they used!

I'm sure my mom had many of these patterns . . . I remember the big ol' catalogs at the fabric stores. I loved the thin brown tissue like paper the patterns were. I loved how my mom would pin them to the fabric. She used to sew a lot of clothing way back when - that probably stopped by the time I was 12. I learned to sew a little from her - but I learned to use the machine in sewing class - 7th grade.

My Mother used to sew. She made pillow cases, lots of blankets and quilts. I never liked to sew.

Those patterns bring back some good memories. My mom taught me to sew so I used to make myself a lot of clothes and certainly used those patterns.

I remember these well. I made a few things in my time but I was never very good at it.
