Shop Story: The Art of Timelessness

My mother taught me, as her grandmother and mother taught her, that good patterns are timeless; that choosing your own fabric and having a unique wardrobe is better than a designer label on something that everyone else has; and that you will have a higher-quality wardrobe and treat your wardrobe better if you put the work into piecing it together yourself. 

I have never been able to pass up sewing patterns at yard sales or estate sales, even ones I might not have a personal use for, because I could not bear the thought of them ending up in the trash if I didn’t buy them. When I see a sewing pattern that is sixty years old that was never even cut, I think it a shameful waste of the life it was meant to have. And so this family of shops was born. I think of myself as a sewing pattern foster mom, mailing these precious pieces of fashion history to homes across the globe, where I hope they will become the fabulous creative projects they were meant to be.
