    How to trace Vintage Sewing Patterns, a tutorial | Vintage on Tap

    If you’re looking for how to trace vintage sewing patterns, my video has you covered!

    Yes yes, the video is a little bit on the longer side, but I go into it. The pros and cons, what tools I use, and why I even bother to trace all my modern ones, too. Its definitely a labor of love, but as I say in the video, keeping the original intact is a Big Deal for me, especially when patterns can easily go out of print or I just don’t want to spend time re-taping a PDF.

    Vintage patterns, on the other hand, should always be traced to keep the original in as pristine condition as possible. Browsing the sewing community, I know there are some outliers who go balls-to-the-wall and just use their originals and to them I say… you’re breaking my heart!

    Time Stamps for a specific pattern-type:

    • 9:37 for commercial patterns
    • 14:24 for vintage patterns

    Patterns used in this tutorial were:

    Definitely let me know if this video was helpful for you! I’m considering doing more tutorials in 2017 and making them a regular segment of my YouTube channel.

    Do you trace your sewing patterns? Why or why not?
