Take a look at these fab free vintage sewing patterns!

We've been making up a fun new 1950's Pinterest board full of vintage inspiration and some classic dressmaking patterns - like the Butterick 'Walk Away' Dress Pattern which is promised to be featured on episode 3 of the Great British Sewing Bee - a dress which is so easy that you can 'start it at breakfast and walk away by luncheon' ...apparently!
