My pattern of choice this week is a Woolworth pattern book. I have fond memories of Woolworths, not just of the pick and mix sweets but of the haberdashery. I can actually remember as a child going to Woolworths with my mother and the big wooden counters, the rows of buttons and patterns. Woolworths went into administration in 2008 and finally closed its doors for the last time in January of 2009, the American equivalent is the five and ten store. I believe that there is an on-line Woolworths that sells electricals and toys.
The patterns really do cover the whole family as claimed on the front of the pattern book. Its useful to note that these old patterns allow room for those who use the cloth nappy. The pattern for the hat is no different from a modern day pattern. 25 patterns for the cost of 80p it's quite the bargain.
