I still have all my original patterns from the 50s, I was
making all of my own clothes from age 13 on. The only
pattern I'm missing is the one I used to make the dress I
entered in the Singer Sewing Contest in 1955. I used a few
of those patterns for various costumes for DDs' high school
plays. ;-)
