50’s Sketchbook

Been busy today sorting out my administration and trying to find out if I have the appropriate kind of education to register for a bachelor degree. I wrote to the dean of the school I attended and asked his help. At the time, six months after getting my diploma, I received a letter telling me that I could upgrade it if I had worked for so many months.

At the time I thought it didn’t really matter because I had a job and I didn’t need to show my diploma, I never have actually. But since I’d like to register for this bachelor degree I need the upgraded diploma. The dean sent me a reply that he was willing to help and is sorting it out for me. I think that is very kind of him since I had no idea who to ask!

While looking for my diploma I found my mum’s sketchbooks, some years ago I’d asked her if I could have them since she didn’t want them. This is just one page of many and in the picture you can see her assignment: she had to draw a pattern from a fashion picture. She also gave me an awesome ’50’s and ’57’s set of bound women’s fashion magazines.

Treasures!

  1. How awsome that the dean is being so helpful! The sketchbook must be amazing, I just LOVE finding treasures like these…

  2. Yes I was surprised about the dean helping me but he sounded like a really nice person so I’m sure he’ll find what I’m looking for :)

    The sketchbook is really cool and full with patterns that my mum drew when she was young, she actually wanted to throw these away I was lucky that I could keep them :)

  3. Good thing they weren’t binned ;-)
    Don’t know if my ma ever designed/sketched, but there were always stacks of patterns piled near the sewing machine. hehe… working with wood and metal myself, they didn’t make sense to me.
    Nice to hear of a dean willing to help as well :-)

  4. I think you’re not the only guy who doesn’t understand patterns ;)
    And I’m sure the ones you’ve seen where neat ones :*
