Reproduction Vintage Clothing Patterns On Neoprene Fabrics Are Used To Resurrect Old Fashion

By Robert Graham


People are showing interest in older styles and as a result, they are reproducing them and bringing them in style again. Examples of these include vintage cars, rings and clothes. This article hereby addresses the latter. Since vintage clothes are trending at the moment, clothing stores and seamstresses are shifting towards them and most of them are using reproduction vintage clothing patterns on Neoprene Fabrics. In the 1800s, Ellen Curtis Demorest produced the first sewing pattern and currently the patterns range from the 1800s to the 1990s.

They can be used by both professional tailors and newcomers in the fashion industry since they are very easy to use. Those that were made by Ellen were made of tissue paper, but later with the advancement of technology, they became available in printable formats. They can be bought online or at clothing stores or marketplaces.

Thanks to technology, you can now buy online patterns as soft copies and make hard copies yourself. This way you know they will always be readily available on your computer should you need them. But not everyone is a fan of technology, some just prefer to buy the original paper patterns. The risk is that if they get torn then they ll have to buy another one, unless if they make copies of the original and save it.

They are very easy to find, especially where used items are sold. They are almost always available at yard sales, real estates and antique shows because this is where people normally sell their lifetime collections. Vintage clothing stores also have them and at a very reasonable price. There are also a number of bloggers who have a collection of them online.

Online presence is making the tissue paper patterns to go out of style. There are now plenty of online retail shops selling these patterns like eBay and Amazon. Better yet, you can now create them yourself with the aid of technology. So you don t have to spend money each time you want a new pattern. Software apps like PatternMaster and CAD are the latest technologies used to make patterns and they can be accessed by anyone.

You ll still need some few things besides the patterns to make your sewing project a success. A French curve to make beautiful straight curves on your clothes and a straight clear ruler. A pencil for marking with an eraser and a scissor is also needed. And finally, papers, pattern weights and an iron.

There are several types of papers used for this. The tracing paper is the most usable one because it is clear. Then there is a wrapping paper, this one will be very difficult to see through it while tracing the patterns. The last one is the dot paper, it is very easy to use and found very cheap. The paper has to be ironed first and then tracing will begin ending with sewing.

Not everyone will want to buy papers and spend time tracing patterns, some use the patterns as they are, and others print them from their computers.
