Anyone who has
followed us on Facebook or
our old blog the past few years knows that when it comes to vintage sewing images, our mantra is "We scour the Internet so you don't have to!"
We recently spent some time browsing seemingly endless photographs cataloged by the Library of Congress. These are our 30 favorite images. None of these photos have restrictive rights and can be utilized or shared as you like as well.
These are in no particular order. You may click on the images to view them larger.
