Free women's slip pattern from 1930

Hey everyone, I come bearing even MORE gifts from Beyer's Modenblatt :p! 104 cm overbust. The pattern calls for 2.4 m of 100 cm wide crepe de chine.





I really like this one because of the elegant shaping and of course the lovely inset. You could use embroidery or roleau

I think the pattern might be harder than it looks...I have yet to master the art of the perfect mitered corner.

As always, please share what you make! Hope you enjoy!

XOXO,

Free 1930 tap-pants pattern!


This pattern is, again, from the 1930 issue of Beyers Modenblatt. They look to be like tap pants–sort of like long underwear. But, like, short. The size on the pattern sheet is listed as 112 cm (hip measurement). 

They're made from 85 cm of 140 cm wide wool knit fabric. Again, because the original instructions are in Fraktur I can barely read them, but the illustration suggests these use some sort of elastic for the waist and legs. Even if the instructions DON'T call for elastic, go for it! It's a free pattern with virtually NO instructions! Do whatever you want!

You could also technically knit these if you figure out your gauge. They would look quite pretty with a simple lace pattern on the legs. 

This pattern is the front and the back, so you'd cut two and then seam 'em up. There's also a gusset.

No seam allowances, hems, etc., as always.

Free, printable 1930s apron pattern

Same as the last one. This is an apron for 100 cm (or 39.5") overbust. It requires 1.65m of fabric (the text doesn't specify how wide, but I'd guess 35" or 39" like other fabric from the period) and 40 cm of 80 cm wide...facing.

beyers modenblatt, 1930
It's pattern 982. Sure you can read German, but can you read Fraktur?

I'm not really super into aprons, so I'm probably not going to test this one, but it looks like a decent enough stash-buster. 

Let me know what you make!

XOXO,
