Free Vintage Pattern

A Special Thank You!

We want to send a special thank you to Mrs. Jo W. in Orangeburg, S.C. Jo has generously contributed vintage patterns from her own collection to our vintage pattern giveaway!

You will love them, some are from the '50's and there are even some vintage smocking patterns. Stay tuned because we will start posting them as soon as we get them sorted and scanned.

Thanks again Jo!

Simplicity 5080 - Size 3

Child's Pajamas, Nightgown and Cap

The high yoke tops have set-in sleeves and buttons in the back. View 3 has a round collar and long sleeves. The pants have an elastic casing at waistline.

We found another one! Last June, when we gave away Simplicity 5080 (in a larger size), we received a huge response for it. So I'm very pleased to tell you that we found another one of these cute patterns, this one is a Size 3.
