I'm happy for you to borrow it and trace it off so long as I get it back eventually. Drop me an email if you want me to post it up to you.

I do know that McCall printed pattern envelopes in black and white in the UK and colour in the US...but now I want to know if there were any differences! There might be for some of the more local pamphlets like the McCall Style News.<br /><br />I am going to sew up ALL the patterns from the year....children's, men's (though I don't think there are any men's except for a tie pattern...lol)...even the wedding dresses (there are two of those...I might have to have a contest and sew one up for a reader! The wedding dresses are very difficult to come by...) So excited!<br /><br />Thanks for the comments on the logo...my husband did it and I just love it so much!

Can you imagine what blogging or just the Internet in general will be like in a decade or so?<br /><br />I've resolved to go through my little collection of patterns to see if I have one you might need. It would be so cool if I could help the project along. Would there be any difference between the McCall's catalogs for the USA and the UK? Also, are you going to do the patterns for children's clothes, too?<br /><br />And PS--I lovelovelove your banner, or header, or logo... you know, that pretty graphic up at the top of the page.

But I'm going right now to my stash box to make sure. You really are inspiring me to look for more 1940s McCall's patterns (not 1940-- I'll let you hunt them all down with no competition, lol).Tasha @ By gum, by golly!http://blog.bygumbygolly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-30932382816392676752013-01-11T20:49:30.694+00:002013-01-11T20:49:30.694+00:00I may be having some giveaways in the near future....I may be having some giveaways in the near future..... :)Debi_myhappysewingplacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-64845025097062622562013-01-11T20:49:05.690+00:002013-01-11T20:49:05.690+00:00Thanks so much, Sam!!!
