Vintage children's sewing patterns are about as hard to find as hen's teeth (for those who don't know, hen's don't have teeth making them very rare). The patterns that were popular were used a lot leaving them often incomplete, torn up, or MIA. Cowboys and westerns were very popular in the 50's and 60's. As children we played cowboys and Indians, carried toy pop guns on our hips, and wore cowboy hats. The truly lucky among us had mom's who could sew and make us cowboy and cowgirl outfits so we could be real cowboys and cowgirls.
Simplicity 6500 from 1965 is a western costume for a boy or girl. It includes pattern pieces and instructions for vests, boleros, pants, skirts, AND the embroidery tranfers. Very rare.
I've been holding on to this for a while. I just love to look at it and remember playing with friends and making believe I was riding a horse trying to get away from the Indians.
Time to let go.
Thanks for joining me on my trip down memory lane.
