Vintage sewing pattern No. 28, DIY sewing fashion, 60s-70s

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage sewing pattern, referenced N°28, is a typical item from the 1960s-1970s, identifiable by its retro-aesthetic cover illustration and its layout characteristic of that period. The pouch shown in the photo features a black and white drawing depicting two female silhouettes dressed in clothes made from the pattern: a denim jacket or suit, and wide-leg trousers, with a short-sleeved top. The lines of the drawing highlight the straight cut and sewing details, true to the fashion trends of the time.

The cover clearly indicates the contents: "FASHION – A denim suit, sizes 40 and 44", "CRAFT-SEWING – A beach set" and "ARTISTIC CROCHET – Three doilies". The bold typography and blue borders emphasize the vintage editorial aspect. The pouch appears to be made of paper, with a slightly creased matte texture visible on the edges, typical of old haberdashery publications.

The whole is held closed by a metal staple visible on the right side, a sign of original packaging. No brand logo is clearly legible on the visible side, but the mention "Imprimerie de Maison-Alfort" (Maison-Alfort Printing House) and the partially legible date, "1964", place the object well within the French editorial context of the mid-20th century. The presentation suggests that it is a complete pattern, with explanations and pattern sheets inside (not visible).

The graphic design of the pouch, with its clean lines and stylized silhouettes, evokes the world of handmade and DIY (Do It Yourself) of the era. The item is intended for making clothes and accessories, and will interest anyone looking for an authentic retro pattern for sewing, fashion or artistic crochet.

Condition

The item is used and sold as is. The pouch shows creases, some signs of wear and a slightly oxidized staple, signs of old storage, but remains generally in good condition for a piece of this period.

Did you know? Sewing patterns published in the 60s-70s in France were often distributed by mail order or sold in haberdasheries, allowing individuals to create their own clothes inspired by the trends of the moment. Some models, such as denim suits, were then very popular for their practical and modern look.
