Lovely card, MariLynn. Is that the pattern you used before - it looks familiar, and I know it's not one of the real Vintage Vogue ones I have. Your torn edges and the buttons are great.

I have used Butterick patterns for years and still have a stash of them. I do remember when they were .50 but I don't remember when a size 14 had such a tiny waist or a bust of 32 for that matter. Yikes!!!

I LOVE this card! That wonderful old Butterick pattern image is fabulous - looks like one that could have come right out of my Mom's sewing room when I was a little, little girl. Wonderful job eliciting that Vintage feel!

I just love this. Like the others who've commented, this takes me back when my mom sewed a lot and the patterns I remembered her using - drawers full at that! Best use of vintage I've seen in the gallery. Wonderful!
