I was in a hurry last night looking for a vintage pattern to share when I caught sight of doll’s patterns on a cover and was even happier to see it’s costumes from around the world.
And how cute are they?
A Scotswoman in a sweet little kilt.
A Swedish and Finnish costume for the Scandinavians.
This darling little Dutch girl, who led me to start singing "I'm a little Dutch girl I don't care ..." and the rest is quite rude. Anybody else remember that rhyme from their childhood?
And what would the book be without a swagman?
My favourite is this Japanese traditional costume, complete with kimono and obi. She looks absolutely gorgeous and I love the combination of purple and green ... my favourite shades.
Which one would you make?

The Swedish one! My Mark is Swedish born and I love the colours and style of their national costume. Although of course they differ from region to region. I was toying with asking you if you would send me a photocopy/scan of that page? Only if you have time. What a wonderful pattern book, so many great ones to choose from x
Gorgeous! I love the little Dutch girl, soooo cute!
