    • AB 1945 Designs

    1945 was a great year for Alice Brooks; Mail Order patterns continue to grow in popularity and the offerings were expanding ... Quilting, knit, crochet and embroidery.  This catalog reflects the more popular patterns offered in newspapers during this year.   The newspaper description:  "Send 15 cents more for our 1945 Needlework Book -- 94 illustrations of designs; crocheting, knitting, embroidery, dolls, other toys, home decoration.  Two free patterns for crocheted handbags printed right in the book."

    A number of these patterns may be available in the shop.  To check, simply put in the four digit pattern number in the search field above.
