The Clarks O.N.T Thread Company published a number of sewing booklets in the teens and twenties of the last century. This one is from 1929.
These are half-page copies. Full instructions on drafting and making the bloomers and the slip above can be downloaded from my Flickr account.
I own an original copy, but I've seen reprints that are available on eBay.
Clothing sure has changed over the years. A person could make several panties with the amount of fabric in those bloomers.
