Crafting is fun for all ages and interests. This blog evolved from researching resources for friends and articles I write as a freelance writer. It is a place to share the information I discovered. Please feel free to leave comments and questions. I am always looking at new projects ideas for family and friends in areas of my own abilities and theirs.

Vintage Pattern Shopping
There is always a timing issue when I buy patterns from my vintage suppliers. One supplier has free shipping when you purchase more than $50 of items. The other gets new items in on a regular basis so I try to wait to see which items I want to buy most. The challenge of waiting is that others take the plunge while you are waiting.
It can take a while to get to $50 worth of used patterns. The savings on shipping is generally worth the loss of a few patterns. I was slightly frustrated that I waited too long and missed a set of doll patterns I wanted. I do hope one of the vendors will find them again and they will become available again.
