I’m giving a shout-out to Patsy for all of the amazing miniatures she made for SSP Fashion Fast Archived Message

Track! This year I am taking the time to try to organize things from the convention rather than just tossing in a box, never to be seen for many months.
Not meaning to belittle any of these miniatures or the time and effort Patsy puts into these, but there is the obvious movie posters and miniature sheet music and magazines that we have nearly come to expect. In addition to those items, this year we received 7 miniature Halston for Vogue patterns that include the instruction sheets. Some may include pattern pieces? The envelopes I actually looked in show the pattern pieces on the instruction sheet.
Here they are, front and back:
And then there is the tiny envelope crammed full of miniature Bill Blass sketches. They are just too nice to leave in the tiny envelope, so I dug around my house until I found some vinyl sleeves from my daughter’s Pokémon card days, and put the sketches in them. I think it works pretty well, and this makes them accessible. Now they can go in a notebook and will be easy to find when I want to refer back to them. Of course, some may even find their way into a display or two!
