Unbox Mystery Vintage Pattern Boxes with me! (all I was told was "1950's")

My friend's surprised me with two boxes of vintage patterns from up north (north being NY, not actually Canada). So I decided to unbox them with you all on a live stream! You know as much as I do, there are two boxes, and I was told they are from "the 1950's". Will they actually be from the 50's? Older? Newer? Come and chill with me and find out!

I know this is an old video but your burning things comment made me think of my crafting days. I made and sold wood/painted Christmas ornaments and many other crafts for over 15 years. I made at least a dozen each, of 100 different kind of things every year. Not all of them were winners. Some were just FAILS. I would keep all my fails and about twice a year I would haul all the fails out to the fire pit, make my self a cozy beverage and have a Failure Fire. I found them wonderfully therapeutic. I highly recommend it if recreational fires are legal where you live.

[@lisaterk9318]

I made the first one for myself and boyfriend, they did not match, in high school. I loved that pattern. It brings back some wonderful memories.

[@LuluRushCosplay]

So sad I missed this yesterday. But couldn't miss my own birthday party. I just love your pattern videos, such fun!

[@StephanieCanada]

You can NEVER miss your own birthday party! That is why I leave all my videos up (flubs and all).

Watched first box this morning live, been out visiting now what goodies are in box2. Loving the 70s looks...my teen years!

Thanks! I try to keep it comical.

[@monat2993]

That advance coat dress is amazing and pretty much my size! There were quite a few nice ones, l really enjoy these box-explorations!

[@StephanieCanada]

It really is a great pattern! It already found a new home, and yes, this was a refreshing larger size box!

[@monat2993]

I'm making a mental note and if I ever get to the skill required I'll start hunting for it! Things with sleeves are quite scary still, I have all of the shoulders.

[@faylowery8693]

Hello Stephanie , I was watching your unboxing patterns 1950?? There was a pattern that was in a paper bag and on it---it said Holiday Village Mall, Great Falls That sack was from my home town Great Falls Montana Just for you information.

Always a fine vintage haul.

[@TheGardenKitten]

I missed this live, (I was sick as a dog) but great on the replay. Thank you

[@StephanieCanada]

So sorry you weren't feeling well, but I am glad you caught the replay mode

[@annierizzo3034]

I would take the mystery patterns. I love a good mystery.

[@StephanieCanada]

Oh email me (see my about page for me email) and we can make that happen!

[@Rotten_Ralph]

I also have a strong desire for a pair of secret 🤐 pants 👖 the emoji just showed up and I’m keeping them. But I have a truly Victorian split skirt pattern in my wish list currently. But I’m always hoping, I did score the 9008 gored skirt pattern, only way to small but I can grade it up without cutting it out. Tracing for my life.

[@carolynward7789]

I think my grandma made pillows from that first one from the second box!

[@blktauna]

I've seen those slopers done up in 1" or 1/2" gingham. The thirst trap looked like Patrick Wayne.

[@carolynward5567]

I think I had the Simplicity 7308 when I was in college!

[@stylechickeeone1309]

Those tunic/pants were for uniforms. Nurses, hair stylists...etc

[@itsmonday7450]

I hear you be excited about bust size 38, I think of my 48 bust, and I die a little inside. Because finding patterns is a challenge.

[@StephanieCanada]

Just remember, the reason they are hard to find is because they were the MOST used. Not that they didn't exist. (if that helps at all)

[@Carmen-nq8ex]

'I put the chaotic in sewing!' There's another tshirt!!🤣🤣 Where are all the 48 busts??🤣 (had to get the calculator out fo hat one!!🤣🤣) Sorry I missed this live, looks like a hoot!

[@StephanieCanada]

Bust 48 are extremely rare (unfortunately) because those sizes were used the most and then they fell apart. Your best bet is to find a bust 44 and try to size up. It is what I have to do all the time (bust 46 in the HOUSE)!

[@Carmen-nq8ex]

@@StephanieCanada so basically you are saying big busts rocked through the ages!!! Woohoo!!👙Most excellent...and thanks for the tip xx

McCall's 9505 aka "there is no Dana only Zuul!"

[@button4631]

Some of the 80s and 90s jackets gave me Dana Scully vibes

[@StephanieCanada]

I laughed far too hard at that!

[@FloridasYesteryear]

Can you make a video on how to properly store vintage patterns. Or if you made one already leave a link to that video.

[@StephanieCanada]

I actually have indeed made a video on that. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2LdfK1tjainqZI

[@Rotten_Ralph]

The lines in slopers aren’t style lines, they are fitting lines. I’m currently learning how to use them. Haven’t finished fitting my pattern block yet

[@button4631]

I'd love to see that 30s reproduction if there is a real pattern to match to! Fingers crossed it wasn't just designed out of someone's idea of what the 30s looked like. Also wow go vouge with the high waist size in those Charlie's angels pants

[@StephanieCanada]

Oh trust me I an diving into if that monstrosity is a real pattern or not.

[@LucindaSutherland-w2u]

Girdle with a crotch piece - that they felt the need to call out - probably because girdles in the sixties didn't usually have a crotch, they were designed more like long-line stays/corsets with dangling grips for holding up stockings.

[@LucindaSutherland-w2u]

Oh, I don't mean they were laced like stays, they were elastic and mostly pulled on.

[@karenclement743]

I watch you quite a bit. But, I am sorry I don't understand instagram! I thought at this time someone would add perhaps explain how it works?

[@FlorenceFrazier2002]

Did they ever make patterns for larger ladies in the 50's?

[@StephanieCanada]

Hi Flo, they did make up to bust 52-54 on occasion. If you can withstand the terrible audio on this video I did discuss it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXbLZmaHfseih7c

[@FlorenceFrazier2002]

@@StephanieCanada Thanks so much! I like 1940's some 1950's but I hardly see them any where.

[@cattuslavandula]

Pattern 3923 @ 19:21 I think every teacher in my jr high and high school had some variation of that awful dress. And they wore those stupid tshirt turtlenecks with them, especially the tnecks with the tiny prints. Yuck. Just picture that outfit with docksider shoes. 🤢 Ooo, I remember walking shorts in the 80s, too. Pleated, knee length, sometimes in corduroy, lol. Had teachers who did those too, with tights, oxford shirts and those awful crew neck monogrammed sweaters either worn over the shirt or tied around their necks Biff and Muffy style. Kill me now.

[@atrifle8364]

Why the apologies for being white in the beginning? Stephanie is a beautiful name too.

[@StephanieCanada]

I wasn’t really apologizing for being white, more for being a solo language speaker. Her name boggled my mind and I didn’t want to do the dishonor of pronouncing in my mid-western English.

[@Sabatuar]

Not gonna lie, I was half waiting for ghost activity to start up while you were off washing your hands. Which means I've probably been watching too much creepy stuff.

[@StephanieCanada]

BWAHAHA! That is great! I do think I need a little screen for the momentary pause action.

I am from a southern family but raised in southern Ohio. So there is now way that word won't be a part of my vernacular. The upside, it is totally an inclusive word, which I strive for on my channel.
