pattern trade

[Auryn]

She sounds like she is wonderful lady.
How would one go about looking up out of print/discontinued patterns??

I will be posting my list of availables later today

[LadyStitch]

On some of the big 3 sites they have a link for "discontiuned patterns"  They are one's they discontiuned in roughly the last year that they still have in their warehouse.  It is where I started looking for one's.   Otherwise it may be spit balling, IE  "I am looking for a Men's size 36 chest doublet pattern" who knows what is out there.  I mean one of my favorite dress patterns is actually a pattern for 1962 that I found. /shrug

The way I've found out about most of the OOP patterns I want or have gotten has been through these forums actually. When people post pictures of something I love to death I ask if they used a commercial pattern and if so which one. Most people who have been sewing for quite awhile still use their older OOP patterns and have no problem giving out the information about it.

Does anyone have a space suit pattern or one like this but in two pieces?  Even this one will do.  http://www.etsy.com/listing/11298327/space-suit-costume-pattern-out-of-this

[LadyStitch]

Sadly, No I don't anymore.  I had to purge allot of patterns, and since I had a real ST uniform pattern , I didn't think I needed it.  Trust me I was kicking myself when I have had call to make 6 space suits since them. 

[Syrilla]

Yes, I do understand.  I did the same thing when I moved recently.  I now only have two bins of patterns instead of 5-ish. Now if only I can get rid of the fabric as easily.

[LadyStitch]

If it is any help, I ended up using a men's worksuit/jumpsuit pattern, and altered it to get the look I wanted.  It worked fairely well.  I know kwik sew has one, but not sure about the big 3.  I got lucky, and inhereted a vintage men's and women's jumpsuit patterns. 

As for what to do with the fabric? Heh, I made friends with quilters, swaped, and found ways to use it up.  My stash is on a fast at the momment.  So far I have used up about 25 yards of fabric that was hanging around gathering dust.
