Patterns in the post




I found J H Markham's clothes patterns in The Salvation Army charity shop in Blackpool a couple of years ago. They are from the 60s and 70s and include the following: a button through dress, a trouser suit, three skirts and a pinafore dress. They were ordered through the post from various sources including People's Friend and D. C. Thomson & Co. LTD.. Paper Pattern Department. I like the way she has created her own collages by scribbling reminders of fabric measurements and gluing the pattern pictures to the covers of the envelopes.
