Vintage sewing pattern for children's coat, ages 8-12, old retro model

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot consists of a vintage sewing pattern for children's outerwear, specifically designed for ages 8 to 12. On the visible side, there is a large technical illustration in black and red, depicting a hooded duffle coat-style jacket, with toggle closures and large patch pockets. A second coat or cape model, also with a hood, is sketched in the background, suggesting the presence of two variations or a modular pattern.

The pattern is presented in a period transparent pouch, slightly creased at the edges, which attests to its age. The heading "free supplement" appears in a medallion at the top left, typical of supplements provided with fashion or craft magazines from past decades. The printed text specifies "Cold-weather clothing for 8-10-12 year olds," highlighting the winter vocation of the proposed designs.

The overall visual presentation displays a retro aesthetic, characteristic of patterns from the 1960s-1970s, with stylized graphics and clean lines. The instructions appear to be printed directly on the pattern paper, as was customary for older editions. No specific brand or reference is legible on the visible part, apart from generic mentions and the graphic design of the era.

The pattern offers "1 model – 2 sizes," allowing the same garment to be made for different child body types. The illustrated details, such as the patch pockets, generous hood, and toggle fastenings, recall classic cold-weather clothing, often sought after for their vintage style and practicality.

The paper support has a beige/brown hue, patinated by time, with visible signs of handling, notably folds and slight marks, without altering the readability of the diagrams. The pouch appears to be original, adding to the authenticity of the item and its appeal to enthusiasts of retro sewing or vintage children's fashion recreation.
