Vintage Patterns = Fabulous Fashion & Illustration

In the spirit of "Project Runway" (and Mad Men) I'm sharing with you today some of my favorite vintage patterns.

Rain, rain please go away!

Today it rained and rained and rained! I hope when I wake up tomorrow the sun has returned.

(Doll above is a "Susie Slicker" version of a little Susie Sad Eyes doll.)

Shackman Sleepy Baby

Today I share with you my vintage Shackman "Sleepy Baby". Shackman made all sorts of fabulous stockinette dolls but this is by far my favorite. Sleepy Baby's box reads "A new concept in dolls. A real cuddly sleepy head for the first time. A delight to play with." Copyright Shackman 1957, New York, NY. No 3546, Made in Japan.
