A couple of weeks ago when DJ's grandparents came to town, I was given an amazing gift! GiGi (as Miss O calls her) came in with this box in her hands. (awesome box right?!?!) She had a skeptical look on her face, and she said something along the lines of "I don't know if you can use these or not, but they were my mothers, and I found them in the attic." It was still kinda early in the morning, and I did not really know what to expect, so I opened the box.........
It took my breath away to see such a sigh! If you can't tell, it is full of vintage sewing patterns! Now GiGi is a reader of this here blog, (hi!) and knew I had just bought a bunch of patterns on sale at Joann's not too long ago. I was very quick to reassure that really, you can never have too many patterns! Right?
I feel like I hit the sewing jackpot!! Not only was the contents of the box a great surprise, but it is cool that these patterns were DJ's great grandmothers, and they were used to make some of his aunts clothing. What a special thing to be given.
Here are some examples of the cuteness found inside.
What a treasure and the greatest treasure is the connection to a great woman.
