Here are three shabby and aged vintage sewing pattern coupons. One of the coupons entitled the bearer to purchase pattern number 3943, a girl’s dress, for 10 cents, which was half the regular price of the pattern. The second coupon entitled the bearer to purchase pattern number 3946, a misses’ skirt pattern for 10 cents, half the regular price. The third coupon, also for 10 cents off, was for pattern number 3950, which was a ladies’ cape. The coupons were printed in red and white (now yellowed) colors for the Butterick Publishing Co. They expired on June 1, 1900.
I scanned the original coupons from the May 1900 issue of The Delineator magazine.
Absolutely love these,thanks so much for all you do!
You’re welcome Anna! I’m happy to know you love these! 🙂
Thank You so much for these! These are so unique & cool! I will be using these in a Journal I’m making for My Younger Cousin for Christmas. Love these! No doubt I’ll be using these in everything now! xx
You’re welcome Rebekah! I’m happy to know that you’ll be able to use these in the journal for your cousin, and perhaps also in other journals or projects as well. 🙂 xx
Thanks so much for these unique images; I just love them as I’m a seamstress.
You’re welcome Loretta. It’s wonderful that you are a seamstress! I had a good friend many years ago who was a seamstress. I greatly admired her talents and she patiently taught me how to sew (beyond the basics I learned in Home Ec class) and I appreciate her for it to this day. I don’t sew too much anymore though other than to hem a pair of pants or shorten curtains once in a while.
Well, Julie; I learned how to sew when I was 12, and my maternal grandma was a wonderful seamstress. She died when I was 10 days old, so I never met her. I love to sew for dolls, not myself. lol! I also hem a great deal of pants. I esp love the old-fashioned images of sewing items. Thanks for all your hard work.
