Scraps from the Past - Blouse & Dress with Eye-Catching Style!

This light, pink damask-style fabric with a floral motif was tucked in a pattern from 1947 - the damask foral motif doesn't show up too well in this scan (if you click on the image to enlarge it, you just make it out), but it is a soft, glamorous fabric, perfect for a blouse or dress.



And here is the pattern it was stored with - Anne Adams 4967 for a lovely blouse with eye-catching keyhole neckline, flared skirt, and dress. There is a personal note written on the pattern: "Martha, I guess you have enough for one more blouse without sleeve." Indeed!

  1. How fun! I love finding scraps (or pieces of another pattern) in old pattern envelopes. Not that it has happened to me very much!
    Thanks for sharing!

  2. It IS fun, Brigid. I can see in my imagination what they sewed from the pattern, and what were a)popular fabric colors for that decade b)what fabric appealed to that original seamstress. :)
