AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This document, visible in the photo, is a vintage sewing pattern from August 1969, intended for making a gabardine trench coat, suitable for use with Tergal or wool fabric. It is "Patron du mois n°1424" (Pattern of the Month No. 1424) as indicated at the top of the page. The typographic presentation and graphic style are characteristic of sewing publications from the late 1960s, with a clear layout and instructions in French.

The visible side shows the cover of one of the pattern sheets, explicitly mentioning "PLANCHE N°2" (SHEET N°2). The text specifies that the model includes two sheets and advises consulting the illustration and diagrams on sheet No. 1. The partial outlines at the bottom of the page correspond to the technical markings used for cutting fabrics, typical of paper patterns from that era.

The color of the sheet is a slightly aged white, typical of old papers, with black printing. No brand logo appears on the visible side, but the mention "Patron du mois" suggests a periodic publication specializing in sewing. The entire piece is presented on a wooden background, with antique books in the background, reinforcing the retro and authentic feel of the object.

The pattern is intended for making women's clothing, specifically a trench coat, an emblematic piece of 1960s fashion. The mention of Tergal, a popular synthetic fiber during that period, is an additional clue to the precise era of the pattern. The visible cutting lines and annotations are consistent with the conventions of professional sewing patterns.

Condition

This sewing pattern is used and sold as is. The visible side shows slight wear compatible with its age, with no apparent tears or handwritten annotations. Only the front side of sheet No. 2 is visible in the photo.

Did you know? Tergal is a brand name registered in 1946 to designate a polyester fiber invented in France. Widely used in the 60s and 70s, it enabled the democratization of wrinkle-free and easy-care clothing, particularly for women's raincoats and coats.
