Vintage Patterns

I got a bunch of vintage patterns off of freecycle back when we were living in Provo. I have never made any of them, but take them out often to look at them because I love them so much. I was recently brainstorming Halloween ideas and brought them out once more. I didn't find anything to make for Halloween, but I wanted to share some with you anyways. Here are some of my favorites:

I seriously want a little girl so I can make these dresses for her. Just add a little length and a white onesie underneath = instant cuteness.

This next pattern kills me. Not because of the pajamas, but because of the little girl's hair. Are you kidding??! Oh wait, I think I have had hair like that before. Nevermind. It's no longer funny.

And what about these child-sized robes? Because heaven-forbid the neighbors see our kids in their pajamas!
These kind of patterns are apparently the only option I have of making anything for my little boys. But I'm sorry, I'm so not a romper kind of gal.

It's a good thing this is a "carefree pattern" right?


These next ones crack me up every time. Do you notice anything funny about them?



Here, I'll give you a little hint (click if you need to make it bigger)

yeah, these are MATERNITY dresses. First of all, none of those girls are pregnant; they are all thin as rails. Secondly, if any of them were really pregnant those dresses would be mini skirts and show a little too much. Maybe I should make these for Halloween because IF I was pregnant then, it would be the only time they'd fit. Hilarious.

  5. The maternity ones are hilarious. I love them.

    You definitely got some good ones. I used to have some that I was hoping to use someday, but then I realized they were all awfully ugly, so I gave them to Goodwill.
