Posts archived in Lily of the Valley
I’ve updated the site with a bunch (more than ten right now, possibly some more coming if I find more complete ones tonight, I’ve had to throw out a lot which feels a bit sad…) from my pile of forgotten patterns that I had here. Mostly from the 60s, but also some 50s ones. Only adult patterns this time.

Make yourself an autumn suit?


I’ve been energetic today due to extremely dull weather and impatience & have added some more patterns to Lily of the Valley! Love love the one above!
I also went through all of the old ones and checked if there were any that were listed as sold on the site but still left here due to non-paying customers and turns out there were loads of knitted & crochet patterns that people hadn’t payed for. So they’re all back up for sale now! Probably about 50 patterns. Since they were still listed on the site, but inactive, they are not in the new arrivals but they’re there!
(Sorry for the lack of updates with the book list, I have been quite busy this week with couchsurfers and whatnot so I’ll answer all of the missng days in a row and then get back on track again, when I have the time.)

I added a heap of vintage patterns to the site today, a few days ago I found a whole stash of patterns I had totally forgotten about and am adding from it when I have time to sit down and go through & scan them. (I am also training Frej in the art of adding patterns right now, and he’s a good student too!) Some of them (Almost only the label Simplicity) are in english and some in swedish. Some are kids’ patterns and some adult, all of them are complete. Mostly kids’ patterns added today but a few days ago there were both kids’ & adult.

I’ve changed Lily of the Valley around enough to be pleased with it now! At last! (I also added lots of new clothing and sewing patterns yesterday, so check that out if you haven’t already!)

Btw, I also installed threaded comments here so that there can be more natural conversations, hope you’ll like! Hopefully it will also look a bit fancier in a while when I’ve changed the code around a bit. For now it works & I’m pleased with just that.
Ok! From now on the merchandize will be displayed like this! And soon I will redo the site and make it all prettier in general I hope. New front pictures and so on. Here are some things I added to the site today:
Insanely great 60s trenchcoat with blue/red lining S


Toulouse-Lautrec-esque 70s blouse S/M
Stripey 60s sun dress S
50s floral skirt XS
Pretty gorgeous floral dress with buttons up the back M
More is coming! I have soooo so so much saved up since I haven’t been wanting to add them while the site looked like it used to. I will post all the stuff I add here so that you’ll know when the site has been updated.
Hope you like! /Karin
I’m pulling a huge sale on Lily of the Valley because I will finally get my act together and make the site pretty and the merchandize photos like the bathing suit above instead! So if you want to get a bargain – please help me clear out the shop! Everything in the clothes and accessories sections is 30% to 50% off and will stay that way until it’s all gone. I will also start slowly filling up with all the new and pretty things I’ve got!
I will update Lily with these lovely colourful spring clothes today! Man I am sorry for taking ages to update the site but the arms have gotten better now and I will try to work more with it again! The clothes will be up within a few or a bunch of hours. I will take a break now after having edited the pictures, go read a bit and such. There are some of my favourites in here, the red 60s manchester cape I’ve been debating over whether to keep or not since the start of my webshop like five years ago!! So I’ve had it but have not used it nor been able to let it go… but now it’s leaving me!

I’ve added a few really beautiful antique post cards to Lily!
