One of the major challenges in working with vintage patterns is finding the pattern you want in your size. Renelope Patterns Vintage Releases was created to make vintage patterns more accessible to sewists. An original copy of the inspiration pattern is carefully digitized into pattern drafting software. The pattern is then graded to multiple sizes. Instructions are based on the original pattern but have been modified to incorporate modern techniques and improve the sewing experience. In order to preserve the integrity of the original pattern, vintage sizing is used.

Patterns are available in single-size PDF downloads. Each size contains the original pattern pieces with additional pieces added to easily create different versions or lining pieces without cutting into the original pieces. The patterns are sized using the original vintage sizing, so a muslin is recommended. Each pattern includes a picture of the inspiration pattern for reference. Check out my blog for additional information about my experience making the pattern and any changes I made.
