Vintage "Justknits Just Me" fashion collection book from Spring/Summer 1987/88
This booklet is actually a sewing-style catalogue rather than a standard master pattern book. Justknits operated by selling foundational master patterns (like a basic knit top, skirt, or dress block). They then released seasonal "Designer Ideas" catalogues—like this Spring/Summer 1987/88 edition—which contained design adaptations, styling inspiration, and instructions on how to alter those base patterns to create new looks.
If you are trying to recreate the exact outfit shown on the cover, you would typically need:
- The Base Master Pattern: The specific Justknits base block pattern for a standard T-shirt/top and a pleated or straight skirt. AND
- This Booklet: To get the modification layout, panel adjustments, and geometric fabric-blocking instructions specific to the 1987 collection.
Because they were designed to be used together, tracking down just the booklet leaves you without the actual foundational templates needed to cut the fabric.
