Children's Pattern Sale This Weekend

Starting at 11PM EST tonight Children's patterns are all 30% off in the GoofingOff Sewing Shop.

A few weeks ago I stopped at a yard sale (tag, garage...they're all about the same) and I asked about sewing patterns. Seems they had a few......The woman's mom used to sew...a lot, but hadn't sewn for about the last 20 years of her life. The patterns are incredible....none newer than the 1980s and many from the 70's. I am swamped.

Oriental Influence and Mandarin Collar

I don't know how young I was but I remember my mom, the fashionista, talking about "mandarin collars" and Suzie Wong dresses. I saw the Suzie Wong movie years later and thought about how Hollywood influenced fashion, sort of like the influence The Great Gatsby is having today. Here is a pattern from the late 1950's with "slim-lined Oriental influence....and Mandarin collar."
The envelope is gone with time. The previous owner salvaged parts of the envelope and pasted them on a Manila envelope. Good thing since the front picture and envelope back are in good condition.

A very rare estate sale find.
