Vintage Sewing notions and pattern

My mama gave me a small bag of vintage sewing items she found while rummaging through the garage. She thought I might like them, and she was right, and I had to share. 

Red lace seam binding. I use this for finishing a hem on a skirt usually.

Vintage zippers. I prefer modern YKK ones but, these are pretty to look at.

There were a few vintage zippers still in the packages. I love the info on the zipper packaging. I love the 70s pattern too. The pattern insert is so easy and simple. Why can't patterns be as simple as they were back then? The back of the envelope is easy to read as well.

Where are the 80's babies at? My mom made my whole nursery using this book. The cloud pillow wall hanging. I had a mobile over my crib. I find it so funny that trends always come back around. Rainbows are everywhere right now. And don't even get me started on unicorns! I had a unicorn bedroom as a child. Oh memory lane, how I love you.

The instructions in this book are really simple. Today it seems like sewing books and patterns are over so over complicated.

I don't even think I read the new zip packaging. LOL

And then there was a roll of pleat making tape. I've never used it but, it's cool to have.

Well, that's it. She gave me an old tailors ham as well as some muslin. The muslin was used right away, Ha. Hope you enjoyed a little look into the bag of goodies my mama gave me. I am always amazed at how things change and some things stay the same. Hope you enjoyed the items. 

Let me know in the comments below if you've found some cool vintage sewing notions or patterns.
