Vintage sewing pattern up for grabs

Want a vintage sewing pattern for free? I'll even pay postage.

Simplicity 2013 front cover

So, as you can see, the cover's in a bit of a state. Every time I touch it a little more flakes off, so I've put it in a page protector and stopped touching it. The good news, however, is that only the cover is in bad shape. Here's the back cover.

The pattern size is 18 1/2, which is bust 37, waist 31, and hip 40. The instructions are yellowed, but intact, and the pattern pieces, while cut, are in great shape. The waistband is missing, but should be easy to reconstruct. See here for proof of size:

So what do you have to do to get this pattern? Just tell me why you want it, promise me you'll make it soon, and send me a photo of the finished outfit when you're done. If you can't do all those things, don't ask for the pattern.

To ask for the pattern, just leave a comment on this post with:
  • your email address
  • why you want this pattern
  • your intention to make it soon and send me pictures
That's it. I'll pick the person who gives me the best reason, in my opinion, on Sunday, July 27. I'll even pay for postage, so this is 100% free to you, so if you don't intend to make this pattern, please don't ask for it.

Thanks!

Hi Jessica, It's Sheena from the sewing group. I definitely wouldn't mind taking that pattern off your hands, I love vintage and it's so cute! Don't worry about it if someone has already contacted you. Thanks

In my opinion I will be the best choice. I will make it right away and I already have the fabric. I have been looking for a pattern like this for a long time. When I am done making it I will preserve the pattern in a plastic sleve and display it in my sewing room. Yes I will send pic's of both the finished playsuit and skirt and the display of the pattern. Thanks hope to hear from you soon. Christine

Hi, Christine. I'd like to give you the pattern, but you didn't leave your email, so I have no way to get in touch with you. Please contact me at kusine @ yahoo .com or leave your email here in the contents. Thanks!

Hi there my name is Beth and I love to design clothes. I never followed a pattern and got on line to look up different patterns and such and thats when I came to your site. I cant believe you are willing to give this amazing pattern away. Thats really a wonderful idea. I would absolutely adore having this pattern, so I could make a couple of dresses, 1 directly like the pattern and maybe 2 others with some modifications. if you could tell me what size it is that would be extremely helpful-thank you-Beth foxycleopa@yahoo.com
