Thank you Bellin and Vintage Argentina
Manikin, I never dreamed they made these, that's amasing. I remember (back in the 50's) going with my mother to the dept. store and her buying patterns for her. Thanks for teaching me something new today.
Glad you enjoyed seeing these kerry ! They made even more than I have pictured . And memories of you going to store for your Mom is such a good memory ! Thank you for sharing that story . That was in day of homemade clothes and we were happy to have them no designer labels then ! :-)
Are you allowed to trade patterns?
