Vintage Newspaper Smocking Pattern

When my Mum was young, she used to send away for patterns from the weekly newspaper.  This is one of them.  The date on the envelope for this particular pattern is October 27, 1949. 

This is for smocking - it is a transfer pattern.  It says "These smocking patterns are to be used on children's clothes, aprons, blouses, dresses, dressing table skirts, lamp shades, bedspreads, or any garment or household accessory desired."

There are 5 patterns, and oh, I like the lamp shade idea!!!

It also says "To transfer pin strip desired printed side down and press over it with a warm, not hot iron.  Punch a hole in each solid dot with a heavy needle in an up and down motion so that the pattern may be used to do as much smocking as desired."
