Vintage Betsey Johnson Sewing Patterns! Have a look at my collection of her designs from the 1970s!

In my January Makes video, I modeled my floral jacket that I sewed using a 1970s Betsy Johnson pattern. I'm a vintage pattern lover - you too? - and in today's video I'm sharing a slide show of the Betsey Johnson sewing patterns I've collected over the years. They are in order by release date. Butterick patterns did not include dates on their patterns during this time period, but I was able to date them via the Vintage Pattern Wiki.

Let's be friends and stay up to date in between videos!

Sharon, I just love this video. I sewed so many Betsey Johnson patterns back in the '70s. Just the sight of the Butterick font from that era makes my heart go pitter-pat. I still have quite a few of them and even one of the dresses I made back when the pattern first came out! Butterick 6798. My all-time favorite outfit was from Butterick 6535. I made the mini skirt and long sleeved shirt in a poppy red and cream calico print. How I could have ever let that go I will never know. Thanks so much for making this video. I think I'll go pull out my short stack of patterns and have a little nostalgia-fest.

Those line drawings - I'd love to learn to draw them! So much cuteness. Love it. Also lots of good maxi options . . . 😉

Butterick 4681 is my favorite. I made the red dress as shown on the pattern envelope in the '70s complete with appliques and embroidery. My sister took it to Europe and lost it. 😪

Question, if I may, how do you file them and store the many patterns? The hats and I bags, I like making hose, they are fun.
