Welcome to the Vintage Fashion Library!

This is an original printed sewing pattern.  It remains unused.  This envelope contains pattern pieces and instructions to create a pillow appliqued with mamo.  Mamo was a type of Hawaiian honeycreeper (bird) that has been made extinct, but was highly valued in Hawaiian culture for its yellow feathers.  Capes including mamo feathers were made for powerful or influencial people in Hawaii -- the more yellow in the cape, the more powerful the person, because the yellow mamo feathers were more rare. King Kamehameha had a fully yellow cape made from 450,000 of their feathers -- caught safely and rereleased so as not to harm the bird population.  Alas, Americans ultimately caused the extinction of this beautiful bird, by destroying its habitat.  None have been seen since the late 1800s. 

Makes a 22" pillow

Complete with all pieces and instructions.

Vintage items have lived a previous life, thus they may show signs of wear, such as stains, creases, tears, foxing, marks or pinholes. We do our best to describe accurately.

Some patterns may have missing pieces. These are labelled “wounded birds”, and will list the missing pieces. Please read the listing carefully.

Patterns are shipped in plastic bags, with a backing board. This will protect them from the elements (and the post office).

In our continued effort to remain environmentally friendly, your Paypal or credit card receipt will serve as your receipt.

We combine shipping! If the shipping does not look accurate in your shopping cart, please email us!

Please check your address on the invoice before purchasing, as we can only ship to the address provided at the time of purchase.

Please read the listing carefully prior to purchase. By purchasing, you acknowledge that you have read the entire listing and have asked any questions prior to purchase. We do not accept refunds if for situations where the purchaser did not read the listing. We are here to help and answer questions!

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:

We love to ship to our international customers, but want you to know a few things. International shipping prices have gone up tremendously over the past couple of years. Please check the shipping carefully before purchasing, and if you have questions, please email us.

Import taxes/VAT are the responsibility of the purchaser. Please do not ask us to alter a customs form, as it is illegal and we can’t risk our business on a lie.

International packages take longer to arrive due to processing them through customs. International delivery times can vary from week to week, so please be patient and check with your post office if your package hasn’t arrived.
