I have a lot of these 80's and I believe a few 70's patterns. I haven't used them. Just holding on to them. My mother used to make my clothes for me when I was a little girl. She had a nice Singer sowing machine that was connected to a table..( 🤔I think she still has it). I use to get a lot of compliments on my outfits. Lol. Anyways I saw this post and got all excited. I need to pull out some of those patterns and see what I can do. This is great! ❤️
