ADVANCED Difficulty Pattern

This is for PRINTED PATTERN- Mailed to you.

E-Pattern download is available in a separate listing in my store.  

From a rare original period source pattern from 1919, this pattern is for the World War One era canteen uniform of the National League of Womans Service. This pattern can also be used as an “apron” or overdress for civilian use. This pattern includes both short sleeve and long sleeve options,and a belt, a cap, and an armband. This pattern includes both original period sewing instructions and supplementary step-by-step photo instructions. Cutting charts for modern fabric widths, research materials from period sources, and historical notes are also included. This pattern uses period sewing techniques that may be unfamiliar. We rate this pattern as advanced difficulty.

***************************************************

This pattern is multi-size to fit busts 30"-44"

  • HOW TO USE E-PATTERNS

    Most patterns come as both A4/US LETTER and A0 size. You will need ADOBE READER, a free program, to print your e-pattern.

    For A4/US LETTER paper:

    Open the "READ-ME-FIRST" File for instructions on printing and piecing your pattern. Print the PDF file on your home printer, cut off on the lines given, and tape them together. Then you cut and use your pattern just as you would a normal home sewing pattern.

    For A0 size:

    This is sent away to a copyshop and printed on big sheets for you. We print A0 pattern sheets at great prices at Pattern Printing Company
