Sewing is an intricate art, and, except for a very few who know how

the department stores. Without the aid of these patterns made by pro

Ellen Buttcrick, a demure little New England housewife, while sew
ing a frock for one of her children, was struck with the idea that her
pattern would be greatly welcomed by many mothers who did not know
how to make their own. To her husband, Ebenezer Buttcrick, an un
pretentious country tailor who later became one of the founders of the
great Buttcrick institution, she remarked: "I believe there arc a great many
mothers who would like patterns from which to make little girls’ or boys’
clothes.’ Her husband being a shrewd man realized the possibilities in
his Wife’s idea, and immediately set out to make plans for the production
of patterns for women in general.
These early patterns, made of stiff paper, were crude and simple
with only the outlines of the plainest foundation garments, As these patterns became more and more popular, pleats, gathers, frills. collars,

were added and tissue paper with printed directions replaced the awkward
stiff paper.

pattern would be greatly welcomed by many mothers who did not know
how to make their own. To her husband, Ebenezer Buttcrick, an un
pretentious country tailor who later became one of the founders of the
great Buttcrick institution, she remarked: "I believe there arc a great many
mothers who would like patterns from which to make little girls’ or boys’
clothes.’ Her husband being a shrewd man realized the possibilities in
his Wife’s idea, and immediately set out to make plans for the production
of patterns for women in general.
These early patterns, made of stiff paper, were crude and simple
with only the outlines of the plainest foundation garments, As these patterns became more and more popular, pleats, gathers, frills. collars,

were added and tissue paper with printed directions replaced the awkward
stiff paper.
