I'm Having Trouble Searching! The Pages Won't Load Right? First, THANK YOU! This usually means you've had a look at quite a few pages and you're getting cache interference. Please trying clearing your computer cache (NOT your cookies!), log out and back in and that should fix the problem. Depending on what internet browser you use, here are some instructions on How To Clear Your Cache. Thank you, Janet, for that link! I've also noticed that if you go to a different category, then click again where you wanted to be in the first place, the site loves that little tickle and gets going! I truly appreciate you taking the time to look through my patterns! I promise you that the little jiggle you might have to give the site will pay off with pages and pages of more vintage goodies!

	How Do I Shop WITHOUT Seeing the SOLD Patterns? Aha! I just found that if you browse by Pattern Maker, ie the Simplicity, McCalls, Butterick, Vogue, Advance, etc categories.. YOU WILL NOT SEE ALL THE SOLD PATTERNS! Searching by Decade or a manual search WILL include Sold Patterns, unfortunately.. But I do try to clear those away at least monthly. Back to Top
	There are So Many Patterns! How Long Can I Shop? You can shop until you're finished! Be sure to take advantage of any shipping specials & discounts, too! One thing to be aware of.. a pattern isn't SOLD from the inventory until payment is received, so if there's something extra special you've found, please remit payment at your first convenience!

	Do You Ship Internationally? Yes, I Ship Worldwide! Shore to shore.. coast to coast, sea to shining sea! Back to Top
	Do You Combine/Reduce Shipping If I Buy More Than One Item? Yes, indeed! Kindly view the shipping discounts page in the main menu above. Back to Top
	Tell Me More About Memory Lane! Need to research vintage fashion? Want to see what was en vogue the year you were born, or graduated, or got married? Want to try and find the prom dress pattern your Mom used? Need to authentically costume a play? Stroll down Memory Lane, my newest way to browse patterns! Use the drop down list under the Memory Lane title and find what patterns I have that were copyrighted into the fashion catalogues from 1940 through 2007! Please Note: Decade years (ie: 1950, 1960, 1970) are going to pull EVERYthing from that era since I keyword each era in my titles. I'll work on finding a way around that, if it's possible!

	Will You Scan the Pattern Back For Me? Absolutely! Please send a request with the pattern name & number to: patternscan@momspatterns.com! My scanner is a snail so right now, putting the backs on ALL items isn't a viable option for me. But if you need it, I will gladly email it to you and add them as I go! Back to Top
	When Will You Add More Patterns? I aim for daily inventory updates, but realistically it seems to be weekly! I still list eBay auctions on Wednesday, Friday & Saturday evenings. Back to Top
	Why The Name MOMSPatterns? Lucky observation, really! My ebay seller name is MACOJERO. That's the 1st two letters of the names of myself, the hubby, and two of the children. (The name was established before our last son!) When I opened my first store, I named it More of Macojero's Sewing Patterns. Then when trying to come up with a web store name, I abbreviated it M O M S Patterns. And nobody can argue that Mom's got the best retro fashions, right? :) Back to Top
	How Do You Know The EXACT Date of a Pattern? I reference the Blueprints of Fashion books by Wade Laboissonniere for the 1940's & the 1950's. They are comprehensive pattern dating books that I use religiously! More recent patterns have the copyright on the envelopes and if there is NO date, I use best judgment based on handling vintage patterns for the past several years! Back to Top
	I Want One Of Those SOLD Patterns! Do You Have Another One? It's very possible! I buy patterns ALL the time and have an enormous stash in boxes & bins. Just email me and I'll see if what you're looking for rings a bell, or I'll try to help you find one! Back to Top
	I Forgot or Lost My Password.. help! Sure! These things happen. Please drop me an EMAIL and I'll reset it for you! Back to Top
	Why Do You Sell Vintage Sewing Patterns? Because I could spend all day just LOOKING at the beautiful fashions! I hardly have time to sew much anymore, so spreading vintage to other enthusiasts, well, it just makes me happy :) Back to Top
