Complete 1956 German sewing pattern drafting book containing 200+ vintage sewing patterns for post war era fashions for women, men, and children. These styles are to die for - everything from wedding dresses and lingerie to bathing suits and tailored coats. I wish there was space to post pictures of all the patterns in the book… what you see only scratches the surface!

A special ruler and curve (included) are used along with the miniature templates in the book to create a good range of sizes for each garment. The women's models, for example, can be drafted to fit a bust measurement from 80 - 120 cm (roughly 31.5" - 47.5"), with some models even a little larger.

The book is in German, but instructions in English are included in their own PDF. The system is similar to Lutterloh, The Golden Rule, or Der Golden Schnitt and is very easy to work with. There are also plenty of instructional Youtube videos out there that are helpful for those unfamiliar with the process.

*Please note: the pattern templates as well as the ruler and curve must all be printed at actual size for the drafting system to work properly.

This instant download digital pattern comes with a bonus PDF entitled Working with Vintage Sewing Patterns which includes helpful information on taking accurate measurements and resizing.
