This superb and rare craft pattern for a whole family of little pig soft dolls and wardrobe is from 1932. Aren't the details wonderful? Each pig is dressed and the face details are embroidered. And the instructions describe how to make the basket of fruit too. :)
This is a complete pattern, and yet the original sewist chose to re-write the instructions. I am guessing that the pattern was re-written so that it could be shared. I love the little illustration of embroidering the nose. :)
The fact that she reproduced the pattern pieces by tracing lends credence to my theory that she intended to share the pattern (a common practice in the thrift-driven Great Depression).
The pattern also include an hand-traced pattern for a soft rabbit toy.
