There are a few web sites that one may purchase patterns that are outdated. I have the "MontsterPattern.com" but the pattern I am in such for ain't there  If I recall, (that is a challenge in itself) someone posted a few web sites for "antiquities" for patterns .. It is a Vogue Pattern from 1981. I have emailed Vogue as well.. but patience does not melt well with MENOPAUSAL moments

| did you try Ebay? What do you remember about the pattern, maybe it will help jar our "maturing' ( some of us at least)" minds. |

I even have the pattern #, it is a jacket. I did get a response from VOGUE and was advised to look thru their catalogue and will find something similar..  Can you believe that????Oh well.. I did pick up a jacket pattern (similar) and it is not a VOGUE... Thanks... It was certainly a challenge that I have not given up on yet.. I did check ebay.. Karen Karen

| Recently Vogue, McCall's and Butterick merged though are still operating under each name. They are not keeping old patterns as they do not have the room. Simplicity keeps theirs for 3 years after being discontinued or until they are gone. I would post to sewing groups asking if anyone has it in their pattern stashes. Also check local thrift shops. Hope this helps. |

Have you checked oldpatterns.com? You might also try half.com - it's run by eBay, but works more like a store. Also, ask on Google groups alt.sewing - I'd imagine folks would be happy to check their pattern stashes for you. Couldn't hurt. Good luck!!! |

| BTW, I always look thru patterns at yard sales - what is the # and size so we can keep an eye out for it? |
