Wonoco Cordé hat & bag fashions pattern booklet 1944

[Dilly Day]

I was thrilled to find this pattern booklet from 1944 at an antiques & collectors fair yesterday. Not that I am capable of making any of the pieces but it will go into my collection of 1940s patterns! There are 15 hat,bag & belt patterns in total.

Crochet is so easy to learn and do, you totally could make these.

Lovely idea but although I can crochet very simple flowers I just can't follow a pattern. Believe me I have tried!!

Those are some very interesting hats! I'm more familiar with the bags, which are lovely. Great find!

I love the snood!

In the "A Touch of Tomorrow" photos the model on the right looks to me as though she has a crab on her head!
Really love her bag though!

Great find! And I agree, that snood is the BOMB!
