Butterick August 1960

Here we are in the dog days of summer.. let's take a peek back to Butterick, August 1960!

Butterick 9441

Oh dear, to the dismay of children everywhere, August means back to school! And Butterick has some really cute back-to-school fashions for 1960. This is a total collegiate look, don't you think?

Butterick 5436, 9442, 9439, 9437, 9475

I love the cute graphics with the chalkboard writing and the typewriter print. Some of these are made with "1 yard" thus the "1 yard line" pun.

Jersey Girl Patterns has Butterick 9422 in stock!

1.) McCall's 6022; @ Fancywork
2.) McCall's 4680; @ Clutterina and Grey Dog Vintage

Butterick 9484; 9452; 9465; 9457; 9487; 9482

Really cute looks for girls and teens shown here! Which one do you like best? The 60s were such a rollercoaster of a decade... can you see the beginings of the mod look here? (If I tried to paint in that dress, I'd have paint all over my skirt...)

2.) Advance 9469; @ Pitter Pattern Place
3.) Simplicity 5223; @ So Sew Some and Jeanie's Shop

So many cute looks! If you want to look put together, you can't beat these looks. Ahhh the days when people went to class not wearing pajama pants...

Butterick 9469 is an "outfit maker" pattern, with several options for both blouse and skirt! Lucky for you, it's in stock at both Grandma Made With Love and Redcurlz's.

Back To School With The Pattern Patter Team

It's those words that every kid hates! "Back to School!" School starts this week where I live! So unfair! I'm glad I'm not a kid. :) Maybe you can make it a little less painful for your tykes with some fun back to school patterns from the Pattern Patter Team?

These cross-body backpacks from Fragolina are pretty nifty! I never wanted a "normal" backpack when I was in school. A creative teen can make their own and not have some drab store-bought bag. :)
