My main mission on this website is to connect my past and new customers with the huge collection of vintage sewing patterns in my family collection.
With over 4500 vintage patterns in the stash it’s very time-consuming to scan, clean, edit, and often translate them. They are then graded, sewn, and finally reproduced in digital format to share with the whole world.
I really wanted to include well-made videos to help modern sewists of all sewing levels achieve the best results when recreating these wonderful gifts from fashion history.
To be honest there are a lot of videos and sewing tutorials out there, some good and lots of not-so-good. I really want to share only the professional ways to sew, without overwhelming novice dressmakers and tailors. Realizing there are just not enough hours in the day to digitize patterns and make and edit so much video content I started to hunt for the best links to share.
The quality of the videos produced by this wonderful Japanese company fulfills everything I wanted to share. Please read below my comments and diagrams on some of the important steps shown in their video.
