I have some vintage craft patterns. I think they really are so very cute, but have not got around to making any. I wonder, do you collect or make craft patterns?
They do come in all types, characters and themes. Some are hilarious!

| McCalls 6400. I thought Id begin with home grown native animals. Kangaroo, Fairy Penguin, Koala & Platypus. |

| McCalls 2197. "Watch out little girl, its on your back!" I like this one particularly. Koala backpack. 1980's. |
 |
| Butterick 4168 - "The Jet Setters" 1960's. This is one I found in a rural op shop. I think its a bit odd, that's why it appealed to me. Each have a name: Lover Boy, Rocker, Mod & A Go-Go. They are all nationalities if you look at the colour of their faces - black, pink, yellow & white. I didn't know Humpty was all nationalities ! |
 |
| Simplicity 7367. 1960's. Fun shaped pillows for children or babies. Characters include: Lion, Turtle, frog, Cat, beetle, pig. A cute assortment of bed throw pillows. |
 |
| Simplicity 5739. Another rural op shop find. I found this one funny, so bought it. I wont ever make it, but Im sure someone will want it and cherish it, so it will be re-homed. Back in the day before the Onsie terminology ! |
 |
| Simplicity 7427. How sweet is this puppy dog pattern ! It sure shows the history in the beautiful artwork. I love the top pic showing their cute bums too... |
 |
| Simplicity 8223. Classic Paddington. With his Sou' wester hat and duffel coat, name tag on his chest incase he gets lost. So very English and so very huggable. |
 |
| McCalls 9255. 1980's Gremlins - A movie I loved as a kid. This is another persons suit - onsie. Look at those bat ears ! |
 |
| McCalls 8311. I couldn't leave out, everyones favourite non human - E.T. Have a look at this suit ! Quite a lot of work in his face. But my favourite bit is the hand with the "special" finger - note the red tip that glowed in the movie. |
I have seen many amazing Craft patterns out there from the bizzare, to "why" to oh so cute !
Tell me about some memorable favorites of yours
I have the 6400 pattern. Sadly I got it used and it is missing pieces and the instructions :( I really love the gremlins one! I was so excited to do the mama and baby kangaroo. I find the ET one kinda creepy.
ReplyDeleteLena, Im happy to see a fellow craft maker out there. 6400 is gorgeous and the Aussie theme is rare. I have found more since and I should post more on here. :)
