A printed sheet of pattern pieces for ladies and children’s clothing, printed in black and coloured ink on tracing paper. The various pieces are printed in an overlapping arrangement, in order to fit onto the sheet. The patterns are outlined in a variety of line styles, which denote where a piece should be cut, stitched, pleated etc. Each piece is lettered and labelled, and corresponds to a short paragraph explaining the process and technique by which the various elements of the garment should be assembled. Small images of the finished items of clothing are printed in between the pattern pieces.
