Vogue Couturier Design Pattern #190

I bought this one for pennies and it ended up at $38.99 in a bidding war. That was over 10 years ago but these patterns still do well. A quick look at complete items for Vogue Couturier patterns show good prices on the older ones.

Vintage Embroidery Patterns

Back in 2008 I bought a lot of 15 "Le journal des brodeuses". Le journal des brodeuses is a vintage French newspaper about embroidery and each issue includes a selection of nice patterns. Patterns often include monograms and lovely flowers and wreaths. See a few example below.

 Bought the stack for 5 euros (so it came out to less then 50 cents each) and sold each of them for $5 a piece.

Old french embroidery patterns usually sell well, not for crazy prices, but they do sell if you can source them for cheap.
