This blog is about resurrecting memories with visual aids--my old sewing patterns. Right now, it is under construction, but check back. Meanwhile, visit one of my other blogs.

After finding a stack of old sewing patterns, I've attempted to match them up with photos from my albums. Then looking at the photos, I'm planning to tell some stories. In some cases I have the photos but no patterns; others I have the patterns and no photos.

I saw that there were 0 comments and that made me feel bad. I have sewn since I was eight....some things I took pictures of, most I didn't.....I think the history you have here is so wonderful and something I'm sure your family will treasure...Thank you for sharing it.....Bev A.
Very cute blog. Reminds me of a memory lane scrap-book blog :) I have been sewing also for about 30 years, started when I was 10 with doll clothes and on to the requisite Halloween costumes, etc. Thanks for sharing!
