Vintage means:  This store is entirely rescued
items from other sewing rooms, fabric stashes, store closures or estate sales,
when there is a noticeable flaw with a piece, its noted in description. Items
are listed in ‘found’ condition. Sometimes this means a piece of fabric may have
been laundered previously to take sizing out which means it will be softened and
ready for pressing before you cut it on your end, or they are pieces someone
never got to and still have sizing in them. I do not launder items, so if its a
vintage item from an estate or old forgotten stash, it may have a scent like
closet storage ~ this is normal for vintage items. The new studio is over 800
sq. feet, so if you are looking for something specific send me a note and I will
give the inventory a hunt. Only about 20% of the inventory is actually listed in
the store. I may have what your looking for. Vintage patterns may have worn or
fragile package edges from improper storage in its previous home. They may have
old price tags or stickers from a life of homelessness in a clearance bin or
estate sale closet. Stickers are removed here, but sometimes sticky residue
remains. If a vintage pattern has been cut and used, it will be noted as cut and
complete as each of them is hand checked and written on the instructions sheet
to verify contents before photos are taken. This is an endless chore of
appreciation, adoration and respect for the style or era of a pattern and does
not necessarily lower the price of an item just because it has been cut.
Checking cut patterns for completeness is a monster chore. Each cut pattern will
have an inspection number #32 written on the back to verify that it has been
hand counted and checked.

Quilt Quality: When there is not a maker mark on a
fabric I have to make a decision on description and use “Quilt Quality Cotton”
as a way of indicating that it is something I would use on one of my quilts. My
favorite fabrics are Cranston and Kaufman or Moda, so it has to have that feel
or weight to it for me to call it “QQ”. Other fabrics may be suitable for
quilting, but not necessarily the original intended use.

FF ….. remains factory folded or uncut. OOP
…….an item is out of print and is not readily available from the
manufacturer or your local fabric store catalog.

Fragile: A vintage pattern from the 40s -60s may
have the word fragile in the description. If it does, it means that the item may
have sensitive dart marks or because of its age or pervious bad storage needs a
bit of taping or has already been taped by previous seamstress ~ not much, but
some smallish salvageable issue.

Pattern means: pattern, template, paper…… sew
yourself or hire a seamstress. Refunds are not given to those who do not read
item descriptions about patterns and expect that I will send them a fully made
garment. I wish this didn’t need spelling out here, but once a month there is
someone who is upset they didn’t receive a fully made gown or some such
thing.

Allergy Folks:  fabrics and shipping supplies are
often stored near or with mint or bounce dryer sheets….there is a dog and cat
here, I get things from every imaginable environment, if you have serious
sensitivities I can not promise you wont be effected.  While my store inventory
is stored in a smoke free environement, that doesnt mean that the previous 5-40
years were wherever it had been before me, I do not knowingly buy things that
have a distinct odor or scent, but it does occassionally happen where I dont
notice something and a customer may have a serious sensitivity.  Be aware, there
is nearly nothing in the store that has been new to me or fresh from a factory.
