I believe they are adjustable tailoring patterns

Agreed... either tailoring or garment drafting & design.

I just marked this thread '' Unsolved '' Because I went back to the Estate sale this morning to see if they had put out any more cool stuff . The guy saw me and said I forgot the instructions to it , and he gave them to me . I now have the originals (that are in pieces ) + some one pieced them together awhile back and photocopied them and glued them to a piece of paper . I can't seem to find any info about ''The Parisian LaMode Adjustable '' Patented Aug. 21, 94 . I can't even find out anything about ''Lambright & Jackson " at the bottom of the instructions . I've been searching patents for hours with no luck . Maybe I'm not using the correct keywords .
If someone could find the patent for this I'll send you a 1944 mercury dime .

Maybe this will help.

Does this help?
Akron Ohio City directory for 1895. It takes a bit to down load, its 777 pages, but on page 183 actual, is an ad for the Parisian La Mode Adjustable Dress Cutting System, from Lambright & Jackson, 165 South Main Street, Akron Ohio.
