1970’s Sewing Pattern Counter Book Page-Through Vivmom Sews (vivmom) 2023-02-07 | I buy my old sewing pattern counter books/catalogs from eBay. Some of the asking prices are insane!! I’ve seen vintage Vogue for $499.00. What?? I paid $38 (delivered) for the 1977 Simplicity catalog in today’s video and that’s the highest I’ve gone. Many sellers are willing to strike a deal.Kwik Sew circa 2007-2010 are super rare. I look all the time for them. If one were to come up for sale, I’d probably pay a lot. Kwik Sew obsession and all that.My top is Simplicity 8556 sewn with an abstract dot cotton voile.
