They are mostly sold on local auction websites by people cleaning out grandmother's attic. I guess the Dutch just have the habit to try and make a bit of money from emptying out homes, rather than dump everything in landfill.

Can't wait to see what you come up with :)<br />As for the patterns all coming from the US; in my case, living in Norway, I find that most all pre 70s patterns I have to order from overseas. Nothing of that sort is being preserved in my country. When old ladies homes are emptied, the trend is to order a container and dump it all on the landfill. Both my grandmother's homes got treated like that, and I know they both had some patterns and sewing related things. I guess this is a product of being a wealthy nation, people generally don't see value in old stuff and that is a shame! It is very rare for me to find sewing patterns in thrift stores, and it seems this is very common in both UK and US. So lucky for me, they're spreading the love :)PinhousePlaymatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116223260537085062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-32159755944266056092015-04-09T00:41:04.025+02:002015-04-09T00:41:04.025+02:00Wow that suit is stunning!
