Antique Pattern Library Catalog. 1940s Costume History - 1948 Free Pattern Cutting Fashion Pictures 1. These wonderful Pattern Cutting Design Fashion Pictures are vintage Fashion Designs and Pattern Cutting instructions c1948 from my collection. The fashion pattern cutting magazine aimed to give general dressmakers instructions in good pattern drafting cuts following an up to date fashion silhouette line of the day. All thumbnail images enlarge into A4 size pages for personal use only printing and study. I've cleaned any background clutter so you can really see the silhouettes, fashion detailing and have one pattern draft to one page only.
