Vintage Patterns On Neoprene Fabrics Are A Necessity For Revamping Older Styles

By Robert Graham


People are showing interest in older styles and as a result, they are reproducing them and bringing them in style again. Examples of these include vintage cars, rings and clothes. This article hereby addresses the latter. Since vintage clothes are trending at the moment, clothing stores and seamstresses are shifting towards them and most of them are using reproduction vintage clothing patterns on Neoprene Fabrics. In the 1800s, Ellen Curtis Demorest produced the first sewing pattern and currently the patterns range from the 1800s to the 1990s.

They can be used by both professional tailors and newcomers in the fashion industry since they are very easy to use. Those that were made by Ellen were made of tissue paper, but later with the advancement of technology, they became available in printable formats. They can be bought online or at clothing stores or marketplaces.

Ensure that you make copies of your patterns if you buy the tissue paper format because they can tear and wear and be very difficult to use. Or as an alternative, you may buy them as pdf formats and keep them in your computer, you will print them out when you need them. So long as you stored them in a safe place then they will always be there and are not at a risk of being damaged.

They are very easy to find, especially where used items are sold. They are almost always available at yard sales, real estates and antique shows because this is where people normally sell their lifetime collections. Vintage clothing stores also have them and at a very reasonable price. There are also a number of bloggers who have a collection of them online.

Online shoppers get to enjoy buying them on online retail stores like Amazon and eBay in the comfort of their homes if they don t want to go to yard sales. And geeks also have the opportunity of creating their own vintage patterns through newly innovated apps like Photoshop and Pattern Master Boutique.

So you bought the patterns, what s the next step? To use them to make a dress of your dreams. But first, you will need few materials to aid with the process, namely: two rulers, one curved and one straight, pattern weights, scissors, pencils and erasers. If you are going to be tracing them then you ll need a long and large paper together with an iron.

Patterns are then traced on top of the papers. There are 2 types of papers tailors recommend, tracing paper and dot paper, they are easy to use. If you don t have the above-mentioned papers on hand, you can use wrapping paper, the one people use to wrap gifts.

Tracing is for those who prefer to reuse, others use them once and have them as collections not sewing apparatus. Whichever reason it may be, vintage clothing patterns are attractive in today s age and you should probably own one if you re into sewing.
