Vintage Fashions and Accessories in Harvest Moon Colors

“Harvest Moon”

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin’
We could dream this night away.

But there’s a full moon risin’
Let’s go dancin’ in the light
We know where the music’s playin’
Let’s go out and feel the night.
~ Neil Young

The full moon is always so beautiful this time of year, and Neil Young’s suggestion to go out and dance in the harvest moon light is so romantic; in fact there are many songs, poems about the Harvest Moon and how beautiful it is..Even though we aren’t harvesting; we can all enjoy the glorious colors of the October moon.

Here are just a few fabulous items from members of Best In Vintage in the beautiful colors of the moonlight in the fall to wear if you are dancing in the moonlight or just admiring it.

Create Something Beautiful with Vintage Sewing Patterns

Many of us are old enough to remember “Home Ec” in high school. We made the dreaded apron or A line skirt ~ Let’s just say they didn’t always turn out “perfect”… worse we had to wear the skirt to school for our grade.

Sadly Home Economics is no longer even offered in most schools ~ and teens are missing the joys of sewing. Its actually relaxing, not to mention rewarding to be able to create something that fits perfectly to you, in a fabric you absolutely adore, and receive so many compliments on your custom made outfit.

Our members have hundreds and hundreds of patterns available for you to create your own outfit, from the 1920s to the 90s, from simple little skirts to coats or designer created patterns ~ and in every size imaginable.

So grab a fabulous pattern, dust off that sewing machine and create. Even nicer, teach your teen to sew as a wonderful family project to do together!
