These vintage pattern collections from the 1980s are such fun! Each number is a folder containing a book with a lot of full-color photos and step by step instructions, a pattern sheet, and some index cards with sewing tips and techniques. According to the folder, this is a Marshal Cavendish Collection in 13 parts. The index cards are numbered in some sort of sequence that suggests you file them in order as you receive them until you have the full set. Apparently this was released every fortnight in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The folder shows a little wear from storage, but the patterns are uncut and the book and index cards are in great condition. (In total, I have six of these folders available, please search my store if you're interested in more!)

Number 27: Evening gowns with multiple variations, scoop back top, skirt. 
Cards included are: AT12 Advanced Techniques; DD8 Designer Details; DT7 Decorative Trims; SF4 Special Fabrics
Tabbed catalog dividers are: Sewing for Children; Special Fabrics; Sewing for Men; Decorative Trims; Designer Details; Advanced Techniques

View photos! I take a lot of detailed, well lit photos so that you can see what you're getting. Please click on a photo on computer, or touch the photo with your finger on mobile, to activate the zoom function. Only items specifically listed in the listing title and/or description are included in the sale in this listing. Other items may or may not be included for staging or inspirational purposes. These items are not included in the listing unless specifically detailed in the listing. Some items may be highly reflective and show unusual designs because of this reflective quality. The reflections are not defects. All defects, faults, and damage are fully disclosed in the condition description and usually repeated in the listing description. Measurements are always flat between the points specified with absolutely no stretch applied. Electrical items are wired for U.S. configuration at 110V unless specified otherwise in the listing. If you are buying from a country that uses 220V, please use a transformer or search for a 220V device.

All items are stored in a climate controlled smoke free environment. Items are packed and shipped within one business day of payment received. Shipping is calculated at cost to the buyer, and eBay calculates it from your zip code. There are usually options for shipping to match your budget and time constraints if the item is heavier than USPS First Class allows. Please email if you have any questions. 

Pssst! We offer combined shipping! Use "Add to Cart" instead of "Buy Now" and request an invoice at checkout to get your new shipping rate. 

Please review the "Shipping and Handling" tab for full sales and returns information. We reserve the right to choose between shipping methods, provided shipping times and costs are the same or better than those offered in the listing.
