Inclusive Vintage Digital Sewing Patterns
A pandemic can change a lot of things, and the pandemic of 2020 certainly did…
I’ve always loved history but little did I know that it would lead me to a stash of vintage French sewing patterns.
When we inherited the collection of French Vintage sewing patterns from a professional French dressmaker’s son, we discovered a true treasure trove. Among the patterns were many inclusive-size vintage sewing patterns, which only added to the excitement.
As I began to sort through the collection, I realized just how amazing it was. Without even realizing it, I found myself completely immersed in a world of history.
So as I looked through the patterns, I began to recognize shapes and styles from different epochs, which only added to my fascination with the collection.
Soon with each new discovery, I was learning more.
I quickly became enchanted and realised I had to make sure that others would be able to experience the joys of this massive collection too. While at the same time, I felt I must preserve this incredibly valuable historic reference and resource for the future.
Oh, and did I also mention there is a lot of them! At a rough estimate, there are at least 4600+.
It’s a huge amount, and I still haven’t even opened them all yet.
This is going to be an ongoing endeavour, but I know it’s a worthwhile passion project. To be able to give people access to these rare historical patterns, and to breathe new life into these hard-to-find inclusive-size vintage sewing patterns. To preserve the history and knowledge contained inside them. It’s a fantastic journey and one that is only beginning.
Join us on this journey, and let’s celebrate the beauty and diversity of vintage fashion together.
At Timeless Templates, we want to make these wonderful French vintage patterns available to all sizes.
We believe that everyone should feel beautiful and confident, no matter their shape or size.
