ALL TAKEN--Found huge box of patterns(Simplicity, Butterick, Jiffy,McCalls) while cleaning upstairs.  Everything from women swimwear, nurse uniform, men's turtlenecks,   Just a few I pulled out.  ANYONE interested before they go the burning pit!  Edited to add, if intersted please post her also, so people know what has been requested.  I work every day, so would like to cut down on the messaages if something is already taken.  THANKS!!

I would be interested in any or all of the patterns, as there are families here with little to no support who are trying to sew.So any that are left over, I would like, please! Thank you!

I'd be interested in the Cabbage Patch dolls kit and a couple of little girl patterns.

I found a box of sewing patterns too...if anyone is interested, please let me know.  They are all for women's clothes (with a few exceptions, which I'll list) and the majority have never been used.  

The patterns range in size from XS to 24, with lots of sizes 12, 14 and 16.

I have dresses, casual and dressy; skirts and tops, blouses, slacks, shorts, capri pants, tunics, suits, blazers, jackets, even a winter coat pattern (very classy!)  Oh, and nightwear: nightgown, pajamas, robe.  Jumpers, and vests too.

Summer and fall fashions represented.  Some are older, some more current. 

I also have three craft patterns:  a Victorian Christmas pattern (tree skirt and ornaments), a Teddy Ruxpin tuxedo pattern (what was I thinking??) and a pattern for costumes for Christmas pageants (angels, shepherds, etc.)  Those are children's size 2-4 and I will even throw in gold metallic rick rack for your little angel!  (3 1/2 packages).

Send me a PM if you are interested.  I'll be happy to answer questions, search for what you are looking for, or ship them all to one lucky person!  wink

I would like some old or incomplete patterns to use in crafting-which means they would no longer be good for sewing!

thanks
