I had pictures posted of the drawing process.  I'm having technical difficulties (as cliche as that sounds) and I have lost my photos.  I do apologize for that.  As there is no way to repost these photos there will be none on this post.  There is just no way to recreate them.  

Just Because Pattern Giveaway!

Here's a selection of four patterns in varying sizes. I rescues most of these from a box full of water on an outdoor shelf at a small antique store in town. There is some mildew damage to the covers but the patterns themselves seem in good shape. I have dried and aired them out as much as possible. I'm hoping someone will enjoy them.

Rules of the contest: This will be a totally random drawing. All comments must be listed by midnight Central time on April 18. I will draw in the morning of the 19th and post the winner. The winner can then contact me through email for mailing information.

I will refer to the patterns as 1-5 in descending order.

Pattern one: W-23", McCall's Junior/Teen Skirt in three versions. Some mildew damage to cover with one corner torn and missing. There is a torn area in the middle of the instructions that causes a few holes that are identical in four or five places throughout the instructions. There is very little information missing from these holes. The pattern is uncut and still factory folded.

Pattern two: size 12, Misses' Coat or Jacket and Dress. There is no actual envelope for this pattern. There is a cutout that hugs the pattern with a picture of the completed pattern. The pattern is complete and still factory folded.

Pattern three: Jr. Petite, size 7jp, bust 32". Simplicity Junior Petites' Suit. This is another pattern that I rescued from a box of water. There is mildew damage to the envelope , one side is split but it still holds the pattern well. There is mildew damage to the instructions but they are still readable. The pattern is cut and neatly folded. It is UNCHECKED.

Pattern four: size 11, bust 31 1/2". McCall's Misses' and Junior Dress in Two lengths. Mildew damage to the envelope with a torn flap. Minor damage to the instructions. The instructions are still readable. The pattern is cut and neatly folded. It is UNCHECKED.

Pattern five: petite, size 6-8, waist 23-24". Simplicity Misses' Jiffy Front Wrap Skirt. Envelope is in great shape with wear and tear. Pattern is cut and neatly folded. It is UNCHECKED.
