I have a really cute "brown lunch bag" size bag made from five laminated old Simplicity and McCall's pattern envelopes. The cost printed on the patterns is $.50, $.60 and $.65. (The two side pieces are smaller and the prices are cut off.) And the sizes 12 w/32 bust and size 14 w/34 bust. One is stamped with July 16, 1962. That would have been three days before I turned 18, and I took at size 7/8 petite. I can only dream.... <br /> It is fun to have and look at but I don't use it very often as I am afraid it isn't very durible even though the pattern bags have been laminated and the edges are pinked.
