- Vintage patterns are my life but "What is a giant pattern haul?" Unboxing 80 pounds of patterns would suffice. I was sent 4 huge boxes full of vintage sewing patterns from the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, 1980's and 1990's along with some other surprises tucked in. From vintage dress patterns to vintage apron patterns, vintage kids clothes and even some actual vintage dresses, I share with you some of the highlights of this massive pattern haul unboxing and some surprising patterns I find along the way.
Contest has CLOSED. There were over 600 vintage patterns in these boxes!

Thank you so much for watching my biggest patter haul yet, is you enjoyed this one check out this playlist for more vintage finds:th-cam.com/play/PLaG2bBTXx7U5Thr_VfriXNf_0heqfILnM.html
My guess is 425 patterns. I made that Calvin Klein “look alike” jeans pattern many times for myself and friends (I was the only one who knew how to sew). We could not afford the “real” Calvin Klein jeans. I remember how important it was to get the top-stitching on the back pockets just right!
Oh my goodness, I love that SO much!! And thank you for your guess, see you next week for the winner announcement.
I wish I had a friend willing to give me that many patterns.
Super jealous!
I was floored! I am very lucky indeed
I bought a treasure trove of nothing but 70’s sewing patterns, all uncut from a elderly lady who bought a store out back in 70’s who was going out of business. She had them packed out in about 4-5 tall pattern cabinets. I’ve listed a handful on etsy.
Very sweet! Some of the 1970’s patterns have some really amazing lines to them.
My guess is 501.
I'm looking for the right 1950-1963 tea dress to make for my daughter's wedding.
I do enjoy the 1980's-90's patterns too. I hope to see them at least occasionally.
I am watching, not 5 minuets in yet and I am in tears 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 pure gold 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Love this video. As you were flipping past the patterns of the 70's and 80'S I recognized some of them lol. The biggest treat was the My Little Vogue dress you held up. I made that very same dress for my daughter as the flower girl dress for my BFF' s wedding. Such great memories. Thanks. 💝
Aww thank you for watching and sharing that sweet memory!
Oh wow Stephanie that is a lot of patterns
I'm guessing 1424. I had gone to an estate sale 2 years ago and saw they had patterns I made an offer of $20 thinking it was just the 6 small boxes. They pulled out ALL and I mean ALLLLLLLLLLL the patterns. My car was so full I had to use the side mirrors to get home could not see out the back. and there were patterns in the front seat! Good thing I didn't have a passenger!! When I finally got them all in my apt I got dam near close to 1200 NEW UNUSED FACTORY FOLDED patterns. I'm sell on eBay and Mercari, some of those patterns you pulled out I had already sold. Aprons and Caftans are HOT!!!!! Price high and they will move!!
Thank you for your guess! Thank you for your tips! I have my own website and sell on many other outlets, have been for ten years. I love a good pattern haul. 1,200 is a HUGE one!!
I have that M&M’s pattern and used it to make my daughter a gigantic chocolate chip cookie 😂
Hi. Hello. Howdy. How funny? Thanks for sharing. I love patterns.
Yes, I love all patterns
My guess is 386. I love 80s and 90s patterns so yes to posting them.
Thank you so much! I will work on it. See you next week for the winner announcement!
Its Cindy Brady. And, I actually used to have a 24 inch waist (feels like another lifetime). Pretty sure I now have a 24 inch thigh, or something close to that 😅... oh for yesteryear when we washed clothing on a washboard, Haha
Ah yes, Cindy! Thank you!
Love your wonderful show!
This was awesome! I saw a few patterns in there that I actually own. You should totally put up all the patterns on your website just to see what happens. I know my friends and I like to play the "Ugliest Pattern Challenge" You take the ugliest pattern from a time period that you can find and sew it up trying to make it look cute.
Oh I am working on it, but tomorrow's video sort of took over this week. And that is a super fun challenge for the "ugly duck" patterns!
Well, DANG! I really could have used a few more Legos in my house
Wow so many fun patterns. I say post all those wonderful patterns. The 80s and 90s had some really great styles. I'm guessing 680 on patterns.
Will do and thank you for your guess. See you next week for the winner announcement.
My mom made that M&M costume for my school play! I remember we were singing the song "Candy Man."
When I saw the M&M pattern, I had to stop and comment. That gave me instant flashbacks even though I didn't know it existed. There is a picture of me around preschool age wearing an M&M costume like that. Thank you.
Feather boning should be good forever. Hoping, because I have some
I do..I do! ... I love 80s patterns, please put them on your site ;)
How lucky are you to have such a nice & thoughtful friend!
Watching this was like, Christmas morning!
My guess: 156 patterns
Noted! Will get started on it. There are SO many!
Im a lover of 80s and 90s patterns, please post them.
Will do! Working on it now.
Sort by style, such as bra top, camisole, scoop neck top, scoop neck dress, peasant top, peasant dress, square neckline, v-neck top, v-neck dress, sweetheart top, sweetheart dress, wrap top, wrap dress, skirt, pant, coat, accessory, etc. This makes it easier to find what you're looking for.
Take a picture of the front of each envelope. Organize them in the same way in your computer folders and the drawers of a bureau.
Oh, my goodness at counter time 34:45 you held up a pattern for a clown or a jester costume pattern. It is the pattern I used to make my sons Halloween costume in 1995. I made it out of purple statin/ purple pock-a-dot satin. I had a devil of a time with that hat. He loved it. His two younger sisters wore poodle skirts, and the youngest daughter was of course a princess. I made them all. So much fun.
I just want to reach through the screen and start flipping through those patterns. I'm so jealous. What did your husband say?
Oh he is so used to it. He did pause for the 46 pounds box, but rolled with it.
@@StephanieCanada A keeper!!!!
Harriet's for Christmas! Yes! Or for Purim.
Jessica McClintock. Fluffy poofy sleeves. Fancy little house on the prairie style. Lots of wedding dresses in the 70's 80's.
150 lol love the brown dress.
I'm gonna go with 568 patterns. And I literally have the red m&m costume in the attic from when my sister decided that's what she wanted to be for Halloween in the early 90s. I apparently flat out refused to wear it for Halloween and mom was displeased because she had to make me something else
Oh my goodness that is so amazing!! I wish I still had some of the costumes my mom made me. I only have 3 dresses. And thank you for your guess. See you next week for the winner announcement!
Wow so many patterns! I think there are 431 patterns. The 90s were an interesting time for sure I don't know why the kids nowadays think it's a good trend to bring back haha!
Thank you so much for your guess! Yeah, I am not sure why the 90’s are back either but hey, I guess I have the patterns for it now. 🤣🤣
@@StephanieCanada you might make some money off of the kids nowadays 😆 everyone is learning to sew in quarantine!
I just found your channel and I am thrilled-horrified-mainly thrilled to see this haul! I love patterns. I pay 50 cents to 25 cents and I have a large collection. I keep promising myself that I will stop buying them but I don't. They are getting harder to find here. I remember in the early 90's one thrift store I went to used to wrap their fragiles and knick naks in pattern paper because they told me, "No one wants these, they have no value. No one sews."
Blarg!!! I was just told that the other day. I glared at them in “pattern lover”...
I like 40s-60s patterns.
Prolly spent way too much time pausing and then doing maths to make my guess but I'm going with 364 lol
And I think some nineties patterns are coming back in style. Personally I love 70s
Thank you for your guess! See you next week for the announcement of the winner!
The 80's really did love its history bounding ey XD
I don't know what you got yourself into but that dress is FABULOUS!
Thank you so very much!
I need me a friend like yours. ❤️
I have that Garfield pattern! It's framed in my craft room. I think I you got 512 patterns in the haul.
Oh that is amazing!! Thank you so much for your guess and see you next week for the winner announcement!
2 years late, but certainly loved watching
The top you're wearing is so so so good on you!
Oh! It's a dress!! 😍
Sure is! It is a Trashy Diva dress, Gia cut in Venice nights print.
Want apron patterns. That is my weakness. I make as gifts but mainly just collect to remind me of my grandmother's. Like any year of apron patterns.
Just purchased a pattern for my Grace Hargreeves cosplay from the Umbrella Academy!!! So excited I found your website and channel today!
Oh please tag me on IG (or wherever) when you are done! I would LOVE to see it all finished!!
That Street Sharks pattern is hilarious. Some of these remind me of my JoAnns days in high school (mid 90s)...on occasion, we had to go through the pattern drawers and dispose of patterns. Discontinued maybe? Don’t know, we’d get a list from the big 4 and spend hours pulling patterns and then manager had to sign off on the disposal. My coworker and I absolutely dumpster dove for them after work...largely weird craft and laughable stuff we couldn’t use. I’m sure I still have a few floating around.
Amazing! I used to dumpster dive Michaels til they locked their garbage. Which I still don’t understand as it is trash?!
@@StephanieCanada My former retail manager spidey sense is that it's internal loss prevention (employees purposely mixing in things they want into the trash to retrieve from the dumpster after work).
Yeah probably. Le sigh....
This was great! So much fun diving into a mystery package 😃
I think there were 483 patterns 🤞
I am so glad you enjoyed it! I had a blast! See you next week for the winner announcement.
O my goodness! That is a lot!😍
It sure is, and I just got 3 large bags of pattens from a friend yesterday! My house is overflowing!
I can’t wait to watch this, hails are my favourite!
Thank you so much! It took way longer that 40 minutes to deal with it all so I had to find some way to cut it down. 😂
during you intro the only thing I could think of was the anchor women from crashbox
I'm only 5 minutes into this first ever for me of your videos( never before has one come into my radar), and my thoughts and feelings range from 1) nearly to tears from both love of sewing patterns, the older the better, and envy 2) wishing I had such a best friend, 3) wishing you were my best friend (your vibrant personality is "fun".
Okay, back to your unpacking.....
Well if that isn't the best dang thing!! Thank you for being so kind and making me start my day with a smile. I am glad the algorithm worked today!
I collected a number of Gene and Tonner dolls and bought a few patterns for them ten years ago. I started to sew again and noticed that none of the pattern companies sell the 15 1/2 doll size patterns anymore.
where i live, in the uk, we have a fantastic charity shop (thrift shop) that specializes in anything vintage- I can get some fantastic patters for only £1, along with some brilliant jewellery and accessories.
I just found your channel, i am just getting into vintage pattern but by god how cute they are...
What a wild mix!
It really was!
Woah it's a Canada christmas!!!!! That's quite the haul
Very very true!
321 patterns. Nice Haul! Love the vintage 1940's 70's patterns. Love the yellow satin dress too!
Thank you for your guess! And I know, I love that sating dress too!!
OMG! I would definitely buy the Street Sharks pattern from you! 😆
I am working on getting these listed as fast as I can! The Street Sharks is definitely high on the list, because Halloween is a comin'!
I have that Vogue Calvin Klein pattern and yes. True to size. I LOVE my jean!
Loved this video! I love getting boxes in the mail, It's like Christmas morning! I live in California and rarely find any patterns! Your husband seems like mine, he is resigned to it. He enjoys guessing the year!
As for the 1980s & 1990s, Some are actually becoming sought after.
That is so funny because my friends that live in California find them a bunch. In Florida it is hard because most folks got rid of their stuff before moving here.
I love those old Polynesian Patterns!!!
Right! Me too!!
I have the exact same table and chairs set as you do. :D My parents gave their old set to me when they were moving cross-country, and I have been using it ever since. :)
Same! I got this set from my mom and dad. It has been around the country but it holds up well.
437 patterns :-). Awesome haul, and those costume patterns from the 90s!
Thank you for your guess! See you next week to announce the winner!
That Eton Ensemble is totally something my mom would make for us!!
Oh amazing!!
I"m that way about the 70s. But I had a lot of those 80s patterns. This was fun.
Thank you so much! I enjoyed it except the dust, oh mercy!
Oh you're tooooo adorable and sooo funny!! That's what got me to subscribe 🤪
Thank you so much!
Just found your channel, thru Saturday Sewing with Debbie, and really enjoyed you and your sense of humor. I realize it's probably a moot point by now, but I do like the 80's patterns and will be checking your website for some patterns I've been hunting. Great channel!
Never a moot point. I am a one person band with all these, so any direction is ALWAYS appreciated. In fact some folks send me screen shots of my latest hauls so I can sell directly to them. I am just happy folks appreciate them as much as I do.
I am sure that McCalls 4293 is the pattern my Nanna made my doll from back in the 70s. Mine didn’t look half as scarey as those ones 😂
Wow!!!!!! You are HILARIOUS! i just stumbled on this video and I had such feelings of nostalgia sprinkled with bursts of laughter. LOVE YOU!! SUBSCRIBED!!!!!!!!!! Too funny. Drop waist with the pleats is the worst look. So funny. Thanks for putting a smile on my face. It's hard to do nowadays. I'll be binge watching. That pattern stash is a treasure. If you decide to get rid of them, ship them to me and I'll pay the postage! I love those! Or make some of this vintage stuff yourself. I wonder if your friend made all these patterns.
Aww thank you so much, I try to keep them light hearted. I also adore vintage patterns and they are all I sew from. I have SO much planned for this year with them.
So exciting to see your pattern haul. FYI I sell patterns on Etsy, all years sell! Therefore list them all!
My guess is 1019 patterns.
Question...how much was the shipping on the 47# box? I have some things to ship and am curious if its better to ship in a box versus those provided by the post office.
Have to run to check out your patterns for sale!
Thank you for your guess. The 46 pound box was well over $100 to ship. I would not advise it. Use Pirate ship box in the bag or use regional rate boxes depending on distance.
You are hilarious! First timer here.
Thank you so much for watching! I am glad you found me.
You are hilarious! I'm guessing 548 patterns and now I'm going to check out your website!
Thank you so much for your guess! And yes please come on over, I have over 3,000 available and am listing more every day.
I like ?1900-1970's. Thank you for asking. I realize this video is 3+ years old.
They're all worth more than $25 a piece on eBay. You are very lucky!
First of all: I love your channel! Second: I have visited your website and will probably be ordering some patterns soon, especially the Men’s Robes and a jacket or two....Third: Yes please maybe include some 90’s stuff...BTW, I’m a 45 year old gay guy that sews and there is a Simplicity Men’s shirt pattern from approximately ‘93-‘95 that I’ve been looking for for years now and I don’t know the number but it was the best pattern ever.........Have an awesome day and Thank You!
Thank you so much Aaron! I have started to list a few more 80’s and 90’s to my site. I still have a whole bunch of men’s to get to though!
Sreiously I love this video!
Thank you so much! I have something similar coming out tomorrow
@@StephanieCanada really, yay!
I could watch haul videos all day! My guess is 353
Thank you so much for watching! I always get nervous and fear my hauls are boring so I find fun ways to keep them entertaining. See you next week for the winner announcement!
That's a LOT of patterns! I think there are 616 patterns.
I love your dresses. I know you said you did not really sew, but did you make them? I love the prints they are made from.
Hello Stephanie ! I would love to start my own collection of vintage pattern, but as I am French, the patterns sold here are very different. It is so difficult to find ressources about sizing, which is of course different, or even a list of brands that used to sell patterns and their history. I love american patterns, but shipping is so expensive, and I'm sure I can find lots of beautiful french patterns, even though there doesn't seem to be a community of vintage patterns lovers in France ! Anyways all that to say I watch your channel with stars in my eyes, in hope I'll one day have my own collection with american brands in it ! :D I love watching hauls, so please continue to show us your finds !!
As for my guess, I would say 453 patterns !
Hi Lucie! Actually I know of a few French pattern sellers on eBay. I bought some 1950’s French magazines from them some time back (still working on translating them to English). Shipping is indeed not ideal but there are ways to make it a bit easier. If you ever want to try out a few American patterns check out my website (www.backroomfinds.com) and message me with any questions you have! I am happy to help you.
@@StephanieCanada Thank you for the kind message, I'll be sure to check what you have on the website ! I actually found a Simplicity pattern from 1948 for a Bust 44" on the French equivalent of ebay, so that was quite surprising ! :O I hope you find the time to translate the magazine in English as I'm sure they would be interesting to flip through !!
love your video. I think you got around 1814 patterns. i love to guess hahaha
Thank you so much for your guess! See you next week for the winner announcement!
This was an awesome haul. Ok my guess for the number of patterns is 526.
Thank you for watching and thank you for your guess! See you next week to announce the winner!
Hey I didn't know you had youtube. I am in your sale group on facebook.
Aww, HI! Glad you found me! I try not to promote too much in the Sweet Vintage Pattern Group because I don't want the feed to be all my FACE. Hehe....
❤
I’m going to guess 573 patterns. I like all years of sewing patterns 👍🏻😃
Thank you so much for your guess! See you next week for the winner announcement!
Just got my material..beautiful. The pattern I ordered is missing. Valerie
Hey there Valerie! Please email me at likethenorthcountry@gmail.com and I will see what I can do to fix it.
You can't sell them if you don't list them. That's what I tell myself for the books and movies on my eBay store.
Great video Stephanie I guess 823 patterns
Thank you for watching and your guess! See you next week for the winner announcement.
Now I need to figure out how to offload the handful of patterns I don't need from like 2005, ha.
I would say your best bet is Facebook sewing pattern destash groups. That is how I get rid of most of mine.
Knowing the person who sent them... I’m surprised they didn’t explode open when you cut the tape!
I was sort of afraid of that, for SURE!
I am gonna say 412. Great video as always!
Thank you so much! See you next week for the winner announcement!
Some 80s patterns can be a cheaper dupe for 40s style; for someone with some sewing skill.
I completely agree! Sometimes even 20's or 30's.
I'm going to guess 386. I like McCall's NY NY Collection (80's and 90's) patterns. I would buy those (if I don't have them already).
I will certainly keep an eye out for those and thank you for your guess! See you next week for the winner announcement.
I have a bunch of 80’s and 90’s patterns I could sell you for cheap.
2,007 patterns! That’s my guess🤣
Those wide leg pants plaza pants
Patterns couuuuld be considered clothing legos? you do have to piece them together to make a thing afterall, lol
Right meow!! :-) nice Nice
You are the first one to comment on that little snippet. Good catch!
I vote 341 patterns, good luck counting! When you made that horrified face I thought you found that famous oversizes toddler jumpsuit with huge square collar... so I guess congrats on not finding it:)
Hahaha! I mean there definitely were some of those in there, but not too many. Thank you for your guess and see you next week for the winner announcement!
Wow 46 lbs
About 600
I guess 998!
Thank you for your guess! See you next week for the winner announcement.
My guess would be 257 patterns :)
Thank you for your guess. See you next week for the announcement!
Oh myyyyy...whats the best way to store them ? Individually in a zip lock bag???
Oh no!! Ziploc bags are not ideal. You want comic book acid-free sleeves, some folks like the acid free cardboard backs as well, I don’t as I want mine to fit into my pattern cabinet.
@@StephanieCanada 😫
I was told Ziplocs! Dang it!
I had such fun watching you unbox all of the patterns. I cant wait to see what the actual number was. My guess is 527 patterns.
Thank you so much for your guess. It was a blast for sure. See you next week for the winner announcement.
