Two New Free PDF Historical Patterns

I've just added two new authentic sewing patterns for lovely bonnets from the early 1870's.  These are taken directly from original French sources and the pattern pieces are scanned full-size.  I've added my translations of any existing French text (not a garbled Google translation, but a real one -- I was originally trained as a linguist).  I've also included notes to help with interpretation and construction of each design based on my many years of experience in working with these patterns.   

​See these new items in the "Blog" section of this website under the "Free PDF Patterns" category (scroll down the page to find the two latest patterns).   Or use this link to go directly to the page:  

FREE PDF PATTERNS

These patterns are free of charge, created especially for anyone who may have been reluctant to buy PDF sewing patterns to give the process a try at no cost (but note that they are still copyright -- do not copy or share, just give anyone interested the URL for this site). 

Once you've got the hang of using these digital patterns, give a larger garment pattern a try -- use the link below to go to my Etsy shop, 'The Fashion Archaeologist'  and browse all my currently available "History House" patterns.   ​
