I have to saw that I'm very happy that I did! I agree with another reviewer, when I received the book I spent an hour reading it, looking at all the details and admiring the patterns. Yes, you have to know how to sew to use the patterns (and they require a lot of paper)... but the patterns really look wonderful. I just received the book so I haven't actually made one yet but the designs are spot on, in that they are vintage but can easily be updated. Plus, the vintage designs are ones I haven't been able to find from other pattern makers. I have already started planning projects from this book. (I simply love the flapper dress pattern). Also, there really are 15 different patterns in the book. I was nervous that it would be only 5 patterns with 3 variations for each (similar to the BurdaStyle sewing handbook), so it's a great deal, $17 for 15 patterns! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, not a research book but worth reading *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 12, 2016* Cute book with some good tidbits on the history of fashion. This is not a book to add to your research library but it's worth looking at.The patterns included in the book (not the CD) require you know something about pattern drafting but if you are an intermediate or adventurous newbie sewer, you'll figure them out. I haven't tried the CD patterns yet because I hate printing out hundreds of pages and taping them together.The chapters on construction are a very good reference for fundamentals if you do not have one.I liked how Jo Barnfield included "Then" and "Now" photos. I made a collage of one of my favorite sets of photos. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun Sewing book *by S***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 5, 2013* I have only looked and read through the book so far, but I like what I've seen so far.I like seeing the old style and pattern vs. the new modern version.They tell what types of fabrics were used back then vs. now etc. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2157555-the-vintage-pattern-selector-the-sewers-guide-to-choosing-using](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2157555-the-vintage-pattern-selector-the-sewers-guide-to-choosing-using) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
