Mission McCall Monday missing images 500-510

It's been a long time since I've done a 'Mission McCall Mondays' post! For those of you new to the series, my goal is to update the Vintage Pattern Wiki so that it's complete for all McCall patterns from mid 1936-1940.  This week, I'm happy to post a few of the previously missing images from the Kaumagraph Transfers 500-510 patterns.  A big thank you to Lauren from Wearing History for sending these my way!

Patterns 502 and 503 are for transfer designs for tea towels and bath towels. I really love the kitty cat in pattern 502!



Pattern 505 is for an amazing apron with an adorable transfer to add an embroidered flower. I just love the waist and hem on this apron!



Pattern 507 is more embroidery for guest towels. I think these are so lovely!

Pattern 508 is a transfer design for embroidery on wool and knitted garments. I think my favourite is the belt, hat and matching gloves!



Last up this week is this pattern 510 which looks like a pattern for applique to put on pillow cushions!

Which is your favourite this week?

Missing images so far:  9011, 9012, 9013, 9014, 9017, 9040, 9041, 9050, 9062, 9073, 9082 and 9088. If you want to contribute to the Mission McCall--just email me the images or pattern covers and I'll update them in the Vintage Pattern Wiki.  myhappysewingplace[at]googlemail[dot]com.

  6. I think my favourites are the running cockerels on the tea towels (I can just see them all running for their food) and the butterfly motif for the aprons.

  9. I think 505 is a butterfly, actually. My favourite is the one with the roosters.

  11. That applique pattern is gorgeous! :)

    You have so inspired me to sew 1940's patterns, but I must admit that my first one is not working out very well. I'm worried it will end up in the dreaded UFO pile! lol! :)
