Antique & Vintage Sewing Patterns 1900s - 1940s


Little did I know my grandmother Hilda made most of her clothes over her lifetime. Hiding in the family steamer trunk were these amazing vintage patterns from the 1920s & a few of the items that matched the patterns. She took great care of these patterns and refolded them with care storing in the original packages. In a few of the packages, I found comics, paper bags, magazine pages that were cut to pattern to (I assume) replace lost pieces.

A few of these patterns were from the late 1800s and must have belonged to her mother, my great grandmother Alice.
