More 1960s Patterns from My Mom's Pattern Magazine

All Simplicity, BTW!

8286 & 8388; I don't know, that mustard color, not sure about it, but I love the pleated skirt in back!  

8394 & 8386

Nothing says the Sixties like jumpers & contrast plackets & collars, huh?!

8400

I can imagine wearing either of these, but with tights, not white socks.  

Though I have seen women with great legs who can pull that off. It's the right hairdo that kills me!

8439

Look at all the great stuff you get in that one pattern! 

8445 & 8391

I actually really like 8391; pretty princess-seamed dress--so flattering.  

Not so sure about the collars.  8445 is cute, too.  

8234 & 8254 - Jammies!

I love the I Dream of Jeannie look!  And the feather trim on the blue outfit.

More Vintage From My Mom...

Simplicity 5980, 1965

I got another amazing package from my mom the other day. Where is she getting this stuff from?!



So 2 more patterns, neither of which I will probably ever use, but still, they are very cool... Simplicity 5980 just wouldn't look that good on me, and McCall's 7472 is for a little girl (I don't remember that pattern, though).



The real treasure though, for only 60 cents, is the Fall/Winter 1969 Home Catalog, which is full of amazing pictures. It will definitely be my shopping guide the next time I head over to Ebay for some vintage pattern shopping (after I pay for my kitchen).



There are so many jumpers in this catalog!  The hairstyles & eye make-up is a lot of fun, too.  It would be a great guide for someone going to a 1960s party!

Simplicity 7472, no date,
"not suitable for chubby girls"
