A few years ago, I purchased this 1962 Simplicity pattern book off eBay. It has special meaning to me because my mother sewed all my clothes when I was growing up. I spent many hours choosing patterns from Simplicity and Butterick pattern books then selecting fabric to order from the Sears catalog. Now I look through the pattern book for fun pictures to use in creative ways.
Today I selected this sweet drawing from the pattern book and turned it into a postcard so I could write a little note to two of my granddaughters and send it to their school's post office. The mail is delivered daily to each classroom. I will tell them about when I was a little girl spending many hours choosing patterns from Simplicity and Butterick pattern books…
