Visual description

This document is a vintage sewing pattern published by "Modes & Travaux", specializing in home clothing creation. The cover features a stylized blue illustration showing two silhouettes: a woman wearing loose Bermuda shorts and a broad-shouldered jacket, accompanied by a little girl holding a doll, both also wearing Bermuda shorts. The graphics, lettering, and layout are characteristic of the late 1980s, reinforced by the mention "MARS 89" at the bottom left.

The pattern offers two main models: women's Bermuda shorts designed by Jean-Claude and girls' Bermuda shorts. Four sizes are indicated for women (34, 38, 42, 46) and three sizes for children (6, 8, 10 years), making it a versatile tool for home sewing.

The visible side also details complementary projects to be made from the supplied patterns: cotton pin patchwork, knitting for women and children, coordinated layette to knit, decoration (duvet covers), and doll Bermuda shorts. The instructions appear complete and are adapted to several sewing levels.

The entire document is printed on paper, with a dominant navy blue on a beige background. The graphic style and the "MULTI patron" logo are typical of 80s creative leisure press. No tears or stains are visible on the presented side; the overall condition seems very good for a document of this period.

The "Modes & Travaux" brand is clearly visible at the top of the page, a testament to its reliability and popularity in the field of pattern making and domestic sewing.
