SOME FAMILY VINTAGE PATTERNS






Mum, Sarah and me were very lucky this easter to be given some old family sewing and knitting patterns, some of which date back to 1957. I couldn't decide which one's I liked best and so have taken pictures of just a few of them for you to see. Some I love and others just put a smile on my face particularly the knitting patterns with the 80's style large scale motif jumpers and The Daily Telegraphs prettiest bed jacket of the season. Mum and Sarah were quick to flick through the magazines to the patterns themselves but they missed out on some glorious adverts and illustrations from within, some of which can be seen here. I'm definitely going to have a go at making the straight leg trousers, as an avid wearer of the dark pipeleg jeans perhaps these will be the next new fashion obsession for me!
