Past Patterns #910 is the only one I've even seen or used, but it has good historical notes on the inside with decent directions.Ross L. Lamoreaux

Re: Period Overalls Pattern
Mr. Kilpatrick
Might I suggest checking out the period overalls that Ezra Barnhouse advertise on their website. I decided to just get the overalls done by Mr. & Mrs Crabb. I have been pleased with the purchase.[B][FONT="Georgia"][I]P. L. Parault[/I][/FONT][/B][FONT="Book Antiqua"][/FONT]
