And the accurate printed lines always end up as a perfectly fitted garment, don't they??<br />In fact, althought the tone has changed a bit, I think it's not such a big leap from this to the blurps on today's easy-to-make patterns. <br /><br />- About that plane, I think it's a passenger jet, so there's probably a landing strip just behind the structure on the right. Unless this leaflet was intended for the British market and the subliminal message here is: "finish you're new dress in time for the sprint to the airraid shelter"....<br /><br />- About leisure time, in most of my 40's and 50's magazines, it is acknowledged that a woman's job is never really done and those of a gentle disposition should take care not to get overworked. The editors tend to look kindly upon such constructive and wholesome leisure activities as reading, useful and decorative crafts, walking and engaging in sports. Cultural activities such as visiting museums, the theatre and concerts also get the stamp of approval but are not quite considered to be leisure activities.Laurianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602295642057814667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-15608784019841173712013-04-07T18:47:08.675+01:002013-04-07T18:47:08.675+01:00I love vintage illustrations like these... but yes...I love vintage illustrations like these... but yes - I think someone in the art dept got a bit design-happy when they decided to have the plane depicted in a nose-dive.... eep indeed!<br /><br />www.mancunianvintage.comHelen Le Caplainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750674471553741119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-36043544932330976882013-04-07T18:14:43.777+01:002013-04-07T18:14:43.777+01:00"My dress goes together in 1, 2, 3, order&quo..."My dress goes together in 1, 2, 3, order". lol I have sewing ADD so sometimes my garments go together in 1, 6, 2, 4 order haha!
