I enjoy the apron sewing patterns and all of the other little things that you have to offer here. This is my MOST SPECIAL little place to come to.

I love your vintage patterns, but can’t seem to print them. Is there any other way I can obtain copies? thank you, Deb

Hi Debbie, if you email me I’ll try walking you through how to print them. The most common problem is that the file is not first saved to the computer desktop and opened from there, then printed. If you try printing directly from the webpage they won’t come out right. You can contact me here: Contact Form
