About Us

Mrs. Depew Vintage is dedicated to preserving as much hand-made history for the next generation as possible...

The history of women is often told through the treasures they made with their own two hands. I was raised in an antique shop and my mother taught me to find the stories of women shining through each loving stitch of the clothes they left behind.

Mrs. Depew Vintage is built around preserving that history through education, restoration work, and reproductions of vintage sewing and embroidery patterns, public domain books, and magazines.

Located in muggy, buggy Georgia, U.S.A.

Our studio houses a large collection of vintage sewing patterns, books, tools, tailor systems etc.

Our History

At Mrs. Depew Vintage LLC, we have been providing high-quality vintage sewing patterns, ephemera, books, and research resources since 2008. But well before that, I (the Mrs. Behind the brand) was raised in my mother's antique clothing shop, helping her hunt for and restore beautiful and rare antique clothing pieces for theater and film productions. That passion for sewing and commitment to preserving history has made Mrs. Depew Vintage a trusted name in the vintage sewing community.

Our Studio

The Mrs. Depew Vintage Studio is part office space, part warehouse, and ALL museum where we work to preserve, restore, and protect sewing patterns and their history for the next generation to learn from. The sewing desk often does double duty as an antique paper repair and restoration space.

Our Research Library

Our extensive research library houses sewing patterns, catalogs, quarterlies, magazines, pattern books, tailor systems, and manuals from the 1860s through the 1990s. We currently have over 3,000 research and dating texts in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish, Dutch, German, and Russian.
