Pattern Migration Update: What's Moved & Where to Find Everything!
Hello dear sewing friends and vintage pattern lovers,
I wanted to give you all a quick (but exciting!) update on the ongoing project to migrate all patterns from the original Vintage Pattern Lending Library (VPLL) Etsy store to their new home under the BeespokeVintage umbrella.
This transition has been a major labor of love, and I’m thrilled to report that I’ve made some huge progress!
✅ Patterns That Have Been Fully Transferred:
So far, the following collections have been successfully moved from the old Etsy shop to the new BeespokeVintage Patterns Etsy store and the BeespokeVintagePatterns.com website:
- Pre-1900 Patterns
- 1950s and 1960s Patterns
- Lingerie Patterns
- Hats and Purses
- Children’s, Maternity, and Men’s Patterns
🕰 What’s Still on the To-Do List:
Still remaining on the old Etsy store:
- 1900–1919 Patterns
- 1930s Patterns
These will be migrated next, so if you're looking for those eras, you may still find them under the former VPLL Etsy shop, which has now been renamed BVPatterns for clarity during this transition.
🌐 Where to Shop Now:
- The new Etsy shop is still named BeespokeVintage — this is where you'll find all digital patterns, plus links to custom clothing commissions and pricing if you’d like something made just for you.
- The BeespokeVintagePatterns.com website carries everything — including ALL of the paper patterns, many of which I just haven't listed on Etsy at this time (I'm still debating on this.)
✏️ Still in Progress:
I’m continuing to:
- Refresh cover art graphics on transferred listings
- Rework and correct listing descriptions, especially those that got garbled during the bulk Etsy-Shopify migration process (SMH)
If something looks off — no worries, it’s in the queue!
💛 Thank You for Your Patience & Support
I can't say it enough: thank you for sticking with me during this big shift. It means the world to me to preserve the legacy of the Vintage Pattern Lending Library while continuing to serve you with fresh energy through BeespokeVintage Patterns.
🧵 Whether you’re a longtime customer or just discovering us, you can shop confidently knowing that all patterns — digital and paper — are available right now on the website, with the Etsy shop carrying digital versions only.
Stay tuned for more updates as the remaining patterns make their way to their new home. And in the meantime — happy sewing, and thank you for supporting handmade history.
As ever,
Rebecca @ BeespokeVintagePatterns
