AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This document is a vintage children's sewing pattern published by "Echo de la Mode", titled "La petite école". The cover, visible in the photo, features a black and pink printed illustration of two children dressed in a coat and a checkered outfit, in a graphic style typical of the 1960s-1970s. The visual highlights a round-neck, double-breasted coat model, as well as a school satchel, emphasizing the retro back-to-school atmosphere.
In the upper left, the "Supplément gratuit" (Free Supplement) logo appears in a red medallion, confirming the pattern's origin as a magazine supplement. The title "Votre nouveau patron à décalquer. Modèle = 2 tailles" (Your new tracing pattern. Model = 2 sizes) is clearly legible, indicating the possibility of making the garment in two different sizes. A technical diagram of the coat, seen from the back, also appears in the lower left corner.
The paper has a slightly yellowed beige tint, characteristic of old patterns, with some visible folds and marks on the edges, attesting to its authenticity and age. No sewing or fabric details are visible on the displayed side; only the illustrated cover page is shown.
The overall ambiance, drawing style, and typography clearly place this pattern in a retro context, representative of French children's fashion from the mid-20th century. The mention "Supplément bimensuel Chez Nous - Echo de la Mode 33" printed at the bottom of the document confirms its link to the famous French fashion magazine, increasing its appeal for vintage sewing enthusiasts.
