Vintage 60s 70s Boston Globe Special Needlework Page Barbie Ken Patterns

Description

This is a very cool and unique piece of Barbie nostalgia.
From the top, "The Boston Globe presents this page of needlework items as a special service to its readers. Whenever space permits, similar items appear on the Globe's Women's Pages, but so many are sent in that the only way some can appear in print is on such a special page as this. Copies of this page are available to anyone sending 10 cents in coin to Needlework, Boston Globe, Boston, Mass. 02107"
Contained on these 2 sections of heavy paper are patterns for many different items, including various forms of children's and adult's clothing, golf club covers, handkerchief cases and more. But on to the fun part - loads of patterns for vintage Barbie clothing! Everything from suits to dresses, sweaters, pants, hats etc etc.
The paper feels very durable but its also fragile at the folded seams. Some ink areas have faded but are still legible. The vintage Barbie illustrations are great too! I don't see a date anywhere on these but judging by the styles of artwork and the model pictured I would date these as 60s.
Great collector's item!
