SUMMARY- I still don't have a complete listing of this publishers' booklets, but I'm down to trying to figure out 6 years' worth - Marianne and Walter Kinzel published patterns up through 1958. So here's a mystery you can help me solve. If you have patterns published later and can help fill in the list below, please get in touch with me through My Contact Page.
Ms. May got a lot out of a little with this pattern set. She reused certain motifs in different ways to fill the 6 pages. Her designs are lovely and simple to make.
