AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage sewing pattern, published as a free supplement by Echo de la Mode, offers an overall design for children, intended for sizes 6 and 10 years (indicated at the top of the pattern). The paper cover features a typical 1970s illustration, with two children wearing overalls, one with a floral pattern and the other in a solid color, both with wide legs and patch pockets. The clothing style, as well as the graphics, clearly evoke children's fashion of that decade.

The pattern, a tracing type, is presented in its original sleeve, with the title "They love to live in overalls" printed in large letters and a neat drawing in sober colors (black, red, beige, and floral details). The mention "free supplement" appears at the top right, indicating a promotional publication or one attached to a magazine.

At the bottom of the document, the mention "ECHO DE LA MODE n° 29" can be seen, which confirms the editorial origin of the pattern and facilitates identification for enthusiasts of antique sewing. The sleeve shows signs of folding and some marks of use, typical of old paper, but the printing remains clear and legible.

The depicted scene highlights two overall designs: one, floral, worn over a dark t-shirt and clogs; the other, plain, paired with a checkered shirt and thick-soled shoes, illustrating the diversity of styles offered. The instructions specify that it is a tracing pattern, which allows for easy use in garment making.

This visual and technical document is intended for making children's clothing, typical of the retro trend and DIY sewing. It is an old paper support, intended for the handmade reproduction of period clothing, with an aesthetic faithful to seventies fashion.
