For single items you can use the Paypal button. If purchasing more than one item please email me the item number(s) and price(s). I will then send you an invoice with combine shipping . California residents pay 7.375% sales tax.

I do accept credit or debit cards through Paypal. Personal checks are accepted through Paypal as echecks. This form of payment usually take 3-4 business days to clear. You do not have to join Paypal to use this service. If you would like to take the snail mail route, we also accept money order in US funds. Items will be shipped 24-48 hours afer receiving payment.

Some vintage patterns are unprinted and have only a notched letter to show which piece is being referred to in the instructions. If you are a beginner this may pose a problem. I would recommend these patterns for intermediate or experienced sewers. I will also note which patterns are unprinted. Also vintage patterns are alot smaller in sizing than present day patterns. Sizing will also be noted in each description.

Leaflets, booklets and thinner softcover books are mailed in a stiff cardboard envelope to protect them from damage. Thicker softcover and hardback books are mailed in heavier book boxes. Items are shipped by First Class (13 ozs. or less), *Media Mail*, Priority Mail or Parcel Post for US orders. Patterns are shipped in a polybag and in either a manilla envelope or in a polybag and stiff cardboard envelope(depending on the condition of the pattern--some vintage pattern-envelope & instruction sheet-may be brittle to the touch). All items are shipped with delivery confirmation. Patterns are *$2.00* and each additional pattern is .50 or less. *Cardboard envelopes weigh slightly more.

Once in a blue moon, I will goof and sell an item and forget to delete it. If this happens I will notify you, give you a chance to chose a replacement at 15% off the asking price or cheerfully refund your payment.

Yes I do. Just email me your location, I use First-Class Mail International. Special note--shipping to Canada will be the same as shipping to the United States...this applies to PATTERNS ONLY.

Most patterns do have some shelf and edgewear. Some patterns will be missing the top flap, have side curls, small tears, wrinkling, store stamps, sticker residue and writing--I do not list these as USED as long as the pattern tissues are still in factory folds. Patterns that have been cut are listed as used. I will always note any major damage to the condtion of the pattern envelope. ALL PATTERNS COME FROM A SMOKE/PET FREE ENVIRONMENT.

You must notify me within 7 days of receiving your item. Item must be returned in its original condition and packaging. A refund will be given for the amount of purchase only. Exception: If I make the mistake 100% of shipping will be refunded.

Yes I will gladly combine shipping to save you money. Patterns are $2.00 for the first pattern, add .50 for each additional pattern. I can usually stuff 5-6 sometimes more into a priority mail envelope for only $4.60 (no shipping/handling will be charged). Mailing books and patterns together will disqualify the media mail option.
