The seventies era IS my vibe, so I’m loving the trip down memory lane, Stephanie. I did sew some of my own clothes in the 1970s. It’s fun seeing those patterns. I was in Jr. High, High School, and College then. I took a Home Ec class in sewing and another one in cooking. I think we girls were required to take one Home Ec class. It seems old-fashioned, now, although I think every human should learn a bit about cooking and for example, reattaching a button. Thanks for another great video!

I was required to take HomeEc classes too, though in the 60s. I was out of college by the beginning of the 70s, working, and sewing my own to save money. So many of these patterns are a trip back in time for me \(^-^)/.

Hi Stephanie, I am not sure if it happened in the US, but in England in the late 80's / early 90's you could purchase a magazine from the newsagent that had lots of patterns for mail order. Now the thing about those patterns were that they were all discontinued stock so they all came with a photocopy of the envelope wrapped around the pattern and instructions. The photocopy was held in place by "an elastic band" and we all know how you love those! I can't find any of the editions of the magazines but I still have a number of the patterns. The patterns were so cheap that I often bought them in duplicate; one copy to make up in my size and another copy to make up in my flatmate's size.

I know circa 2010 we were instructed to pour water over unsold/discontinued patterns before tossing them, and our store manager was quite strict about it. Of course, this always happened after a $0.99 pattern sale, so there generally weren't many left and not in desirable sizes. As a person with a 58" bust, all I can do is look at the pretty patterns for inspiration. Even when you find a rare one thats close, my hip size says "nope"

Silverfish also eat the pattern envelopes, and instruction sheets. Some of the damage may be from silverfish. I used to live in a cabin that was infested with silverfish. The exterminator told me the only way I could ever get them all out of that cabin was to remove all the insulation. They came in with the insulation where they ate the glue off the paper that held the insulation together. I sold the whole place and moved far away from it. The silverfish did damage many of my pattern envelopes and instruction sheets; and, they did damage to many of my books. Sealing everything up in plastic bags didn't help. The last time I saw that cabin, it looked ready to fall down.

20:07 if that was mailed at the standard postage rate, it's from between 1971 and 1974. If it's overweight, then it's earlier. I remember when it went up from 6 cents to 8 cents, because that was when we still wrote letters to people rather than just calling them. If you got a phone call in my house in 1971, either somebody was pregnant or somebody died.
