Vintage Sewing Pattern Research
Vintage Sewing Pattern Research has been the heart of Past Patterns since its founding. We believe that understanding the past is essential for preserving the future. Our founder, Saundra Altman, dedicated her life to historical fashion research, emphasizing the importance of studying vintage sewing patterns, garment construction techniques, and period-accurate materials. By sharing this knowledge, we honor her legacy and help ensure these valuable skills and traditions are never lost.
In Saundra’s spirit, we proudly present the Past Patterns Vintage Sewing Pattern Research Library — an evolving collection of vintage fashion resources carefully curated over decades. This free public archive provides essential tools for reenactors, costume designers, researchers, and anyone passionate about historical clothing. This resource includes:
- Vintage Sewing Pattern Advertisements
- Historic Fashion Magazines
- Color Palettes Used in Historical Fashion
- Fabric Research and Material Studies
- Special Focus Sections on Halloween Costumes and Wedding Attire
All of the materials shared here are believed to be in the public domain. We have spent years gathering, scanning, and preserving these valuable historical documents to make them accessible to researchers, costumers, reenactors, and vintage fashion enthusiasts around the world.
If you reference our materials on your own website, we kindly ask that you link back to our shared files rather than downloading and reposting them. Your support helps us continue the important work that Saundra began so many years ago.

McCall’s Magazine Archive
McCall’s Magazine played a central role in shaping American fashion from the late 19th century through much of the 20th century. Founded by James McCall in the 1870s, the magazine offered readers sewing patterns, fashion illustrations, household tips, and serialized fiction, becoming a staple in homes across the United States.
As part of the Past Patterns Vintage Sewing Pattern Research Library, we are developing an archive of original McCall’s Magazine issues and pattern advertisements. These materials capture the evolution of American home sewing and reflect broader social and cultural shifts, from Edwardian refinement to mid-century modernity.
This section is currently under development. As we process and prepare high-resolution scans of early McCall’s content, we will make them available here for historians, designers, and home sewists.
Research value:
- Chronological records of McCall sewing pattern releases
- Fashion illustrations and construction details
- Insights into home sewing culture and gender roles
- Valuable documentation for dating McCall pattern envelopes
We’re proud to preserve and share the legacy of McCall’s Magazine — one of the longest-running influences in domestic fashion history.

Gentleman’s Magazine of Fashion
The Gentleman’s Magazine of Fashion was one of the most influential men’s fashion periodicals of the 19th century, published primarily between the 1840s and 1860s. It offered detailed illustrations, fashion plates, tailoring patterns, and articles covering the latest trends in gentlemen’s attire, accessories, grooming, and etiquette.
Known for its elegant engravings, the magazine showcased styles ranging from everyday wear to formal court dress, military uniforms, riding attire, and sporting clothes. It was widely read not only by tailors and clothiers, but also by fashionable gentlemen eager to stay abreast of European trends, particularly those emanating from Paris and London.
Beyond fashion, the magazine sometimes featured commentary on cultural events, society news, and even brief travel accounts, reflecting the lifestyle aspirations of its readership. Surviving issues today provide invaluable insights into men’s tailoring techniques, garment construction details, and the evolving silhouette of the Victorian male wardrobe.
Research value:
- Men’s tailoring patterns and drafts
- Visual references for period-correct cuts, trims, and accessories
- Historical context for Victorian-era menswear
- Source material for reenactors, costumers, and fashion historians
We are pleased to include The Gentleman’s Magazine of Fashion in our Past Patterns Vintage Sewing Pattern Research Library as a vital resource for anyone studying 19th-century men’s fashion and tailoring.
