A Vintage Voice on CNN
Laura Skidmore is the proprietress of the Vintage Fashion Library on the internet, where she sells vintage patterns as well as making reproductions that are geared towards professional and home sewer alike. For some people, they choose to make clothing from vintage patterns in order to not damage their authentic vintage clothing, they proportions are better for them, or they may be even staging a play of a film shoot set back in time.
Recently. Laura left ebay to concentrate on her website, and was interviewed by CNN on the matter. Due to recent changes at ebay in their feedback system and fees, it is very timely.

You can visit her at VintageFashionLibrary.com. Get your shopping shoes on, and your wallet out and give her some business. There are usually patterns there for all the demographics (ladies, men kids), so no excuse for anyone not to start twelve projects. (And tell her I said hello!)
