Lara's Antique Sewing Patterns

The following patterns are originals, not copies. As antiques each varies in it's condition and are sold as is.

All are complete unless otherwise stated. Where a pattern says "factory folded" it is new old stock and has never been opened.

Most of the early patterns (pre 1930s) were not printed as modern patterns are.

They were sold already cut-out with perforations marking each piece.

About shipping:

Shipping within the USA is via USPS with delivery confirmation. International shipping costs vary with each destination.

Each pattern is shipped within an archival quality plastic sleeve and within a protective mailer.

I ship from Northern New Jersey, USA

*** I think I now have the shipping calculator fixed.

If the shipping cost is too high please contact me and I will refund any cost difference once I ship.

Standard shipping is via first class mail within the USA (with delivery confirmation) starts at $3.50

I can also ship priority mail for $6.50 for up to 6 patterns

or Express mail for $19.00 for up to 6 patterns

Insurance is an additional $1-4, depending on amount insured

For international orders the cost will vary a bit based on destination and weight. 

In 5/2010 the cost of shipping two patterns to Australia by regular mail was $6.50

An International flat rate Priority mail envelope or small box costs $14.00 and can fit up to 6 patterns usually

An International flat rate Express mail envelope costs $29.00 and can fit up to 6 patterns usually

On International shipments only the expensive Express mail option is trackable and insurable.

(I do round off the shipping cost to the nearest even dollar amount to help cover packaging costs of the

archival plastic sleeves and protective mailers. I do hope you do not mind.)
