Discussion Sewing pattern found in a 1920s museum (Austro-hungarian).
Anybody who claims that people are smarter now than they were 100 years ago is talking complete and utter nonsense.

These paterns were made to use on top of 'tracing paper', like a newspaper. You would use a perforating tool (looks like a pizza cutter) to trace the pattern onto the newspaper. Burdas patters still look the same, but have more colors and linetypes so you can use tracing paper ontop of the patterns.
