pattern trade

[Auryn]

phhewww ok I feel better
I read it the exact same way Dinobabe read it.

I was wondering what kind of sci fi underwear underwater queens wore. hehehe

Glad I'm not alone.

[LadyStitch]

Oh they wear clam shell and sea weed G strings don't you know that? 

Regardless, I make all kinds of things, and I am on the look out for all kinds of patterns.
Goobs     

[ArielCallista]

I'll dig thru my patterns and post a list of what I have...I'm gonna go wander thru the big three pattern sites and see what jumps out at me to add to my wish list

[Lady Rebecca]

I think I've reached the point where basically, the only patterns I still want are the ones that became out of print before I started sewing a couple years ago. I think I have everything else.

[ArielCallista]

Lady Rebecca, if you know which patterns it is you want you should post what you're looking for anyway. Just on the off chance someone has one for you

[Lady Rebecca]

If you say so! I feel like I basically want every out of print pattern out there, but here's the list I have saved to my computer:

Simplicity 3855, 4052, 4078, 4156, 4479, 4510, 4551, 4900, 5457, 5574, 7215, 7216 8399, 8640, 8881, 9256, 9699, 9716, 9723, 9761, 9764

Butterick 3012, 3417, 3418, 3640, 3713, 4049, 4212, 4484, 4485, 4761

Some of them I want a lot more than others, but I can't remember which numbers are which right now.

[ArielCallista]

Did my huge list kill the flow? lol...

[LadyStitch]

I've been up to my eye balls in sewing for the theater I havent't had time to go through my patterns to trade.  I know I found 4 "normal" patterns, and then 1 period OOP pattern I might be willing to give up for the right 'price'.

[Auryn]

Don't worry Ariel, Im sure it wasn't you 

With our faire season over I am hoping to be able to post my own list in the next week or so.

[Mistress Kathleen]

I too am a costume director for a theatre and love old patterns... I know I have some duplicates.  I just have to go through my boxes...

[Mistress Kathleen]

Lady Stitch what state are you in ... Where is your theatre... I am in Traverse City Michigan... If we were close we could trade stuff..

[LadyStitch]

I'm about to be blessed by a ton of patterns, but not for a happy reason. I've been made executor of a friend's mom's community theater sewing stuff.  Sadly she was just given 2 weeks to live due to cancer, but she wanted her things to bless other people.  Depending on what I find I may be able to do a pattern swap.  All she asked was that they be USED by people who would appreciate them.

I will keep you posted on what I find.

[Dinobabe]

That's really sweet!

[LadyStitch]

I got the patterns last night, and ... considering the two tubs together weighed about 30-40 pounds I'd say there are a "few" patterns in there. 
According to my friend, she was known for buying 4-5 identical patterns, especially of historical stuff.  Just by perusing it last night I saw a lot of discontinued Ren/historical patterns. I plan to inventory them this weekend to see what is in there.

Her family has said they don't care who get's the patterns just as long as they are used and loved.  Once inventoried I'll see if there is anything one of you have posted as wants is on the list.  All I would ask, if you don't have a pattern to trade, is that if you are not near, by shipping is paid . It isn't required but I know her family would love a nice thank you note.

Blessings everyone.
