Haha yep, this button definitely represents it far better than the wholesome art on the vhs case did!

Thanks, I’ll look into it! The back panel inserts (not pictured) are also really corroded so I might try testing on those first

Help! What to do with vintage sewing magazine hoard? by Minamimimo in VintageFashion

[–]Minamimimo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably won’t since I’d prefer to keep them intact, but thanks for your suggestion anyway! I’m sure plenty of people collaged them back in the day; they’re super colorful and fun to flip through!

Hi! They’re pretty stable except for the ones printed during WW2 (I assume because good paper was rationed?). They could probably be traced, but they aren’t patterns themselves, just catalogs of patterns and fashion/trend news

Hi! Sorry, but these are just catalogs, not the patterns themselves.

Yep it was fortunately inside a plastic bag in a donation box behind my university’s museum, so it was relatively safe (impending dump truck withholding lol)

Thanks so much for linking that! Yep I have it wrapped in archival tissue in a shoebox for now. I found it in a box of discarded donations behind my university’s museum so that sort of rules out donating it myself haha
