Vintage Sewing Pattern Community

Welcome to all our fellow Sewists! I check in with the Group several times a day every day so feel free to post day or night!

I am Mary Beth and the Creator of this site and owner of The Gingham Life Patterns on Etsy. I'm learning as I go so if a technical problem crops up, it may take me some time to figure it out!

I started the site to provide small sewing shops with an affordable option for advertising. It has grown from there. There are many parts of the website that I haven't gotten to yet but Groups seemed like a priority since people kept asking!

I do sew although not much these days, I have no time!

Now, I could use your help. What do you want to see in the groups?

I'm working on trying to restart the site and am looking to you, the members, for what you want the site to focus on. Any ideas are welcome!

I run three shops and a family household, and I have MS which means a nap here and there! I want it to be helpful to the members.

I have considered doing reviews, a pattern search project, tutorials, sewing help, a blog, etc... I am anxious to restart the site as I am paying for it and I miss the interaction!

Please chime in with any ideas or wants.

Looking for a particular pattern?
