Designs Worth Doing - 1931-1932 Ruby McKim Sewing Catalog

Wonderful vintage sales catalog "Designs Worth Doing" by Ruby Short McKim / McKim Studios of Independence, MO. This catalog offered patterns and sewing materials for sale. The book does not contain full sized patterns.

No, you can't still buy these items :0) I have to say that, because people do ask me!  It is a reference of what was available in the 1940's and a wonderful resource for the textile collector or anyone interested in vintage quilts.
