RARE VINTAGE AUSTRALIAN HOME JOURNAL PATTERN CATALOG | HIGH-QUALITY PDF DIGITAL DOWNLOAD
1955-56 SUMMER FASHIONS

Did you know that Australian Home Journals sold their own brand of patterns in midcentury Australia? These patterns are highly sought-after collectors items nowadays and the catalogs that displayed all the different styles that were available for sale are as rare as hen's teeth. Unlike other pattern catalog publications, these were only released twice a year and printed in large format, with beautiful, vivid illustrations on every page--A true delight for fans of vintage fashion! Australian Home Journals had some of the most gorgeous illustrations and unique clothing designs out of all the pattern companies in the world. The preview images speak for themselves. They are real treasures.
