eBay My World: handmadedenver( 1625)

I'm 38 years old. I love embroidery of all kinds, but have mastered mostly silk ribbon flowers & some 3 dimensional types. I've embroidered two wedding gowns & plan to waterpaint a dress, next & embroider over. I'm also a part time science student.

Mostly sewing patterns. Occasionally sewing books, fabric, and embroidery supplies such as silk thread and vintage notions (though the latter is often from my personal collection.) It is a small consolation to explore many exciting patterns from so many fantastic designers, decades & styles, and then pass them off to someone else to enjoy if only because (in many cases) I'll never have the time to make it myself!

Most often, large lots of out of print, uncut Vogues of recent copyright date (within the last ten years) or other brands of older vintages in cut & uncut condition. I typically acquire large lots, mostly sight unseen. It's complete luck most of the time- and a bit of treasure hunting. Lately, I've taken to scouring sewing stores in small towns to see what's been forgotten & waiting to be rediscovered. I include a lot of details in my listings so you'll know what to expect and not be left wondering if the pattern is well-preserved and ready to go, or a mess requiring more work and time on your part. I've been described on many occasions as honest to a fault. It takes me an incredible amount of time to categorize the used patterns this way, including researching everyone else's prices for the same pattern and then offering the lowest starting bid price on ebay for that size and pattern number.

Patterns! Too many books. Greeting cards & stationary (new and old). Bicycles (for practical purposes- but I do love them so. I really should give up my car.) Linen fabric for blouse making & embroidery. Overdyed, hand-dyed, multicolored silk ribbons, threads and yarns. Vintage sewing notions. Enough already.

English, Spanish

Would you prefer the sizes and body measurements in my listings to be in metric? Just ask and I'll send them to you- or change the listing to include both. All Vogue patterns include FRENCH/Francais instructions. Sometimes, patterns include ESPANOL/Spanish, too. I understand that English can be a difficult foreign language. If you'd prefer me to write to you in your language, just ask. I've had some success using translators and am happy to try to make it a little easier for you. Thank you for your TRUST. I've NEVER had a report of a missing package overseas in over four years of business! Often, we Americans like to joke/complain that it's the US postal service that tends to make some strange mistakes (though not very often.) Australians and UK customers! You've kept me in business! Thank you so much! I'm just sorry for the inconvenience of having to bid on United States time zones! For many of you, you've lost sleep in order to secure your desired pattern!

As fast as I can. To almost anywhere. Customs forms are now my friend.

Almost always. I want you to be happy no matter what. That includes international sellers. And if you live outside the United States, I understand you'll need more time to receive your items, communicate with me, and (if necessary) return them through the mail.

If you'd like to call or text me, please request my phone number. I don't mind.
