Historical information

Between c1960 and 1967 Pam Herbert worked at Hastie's General Drapers in Jull Street Armadale. It was during this time Pam believes that she purchased the blouse pattern out of the bargain bin. The blouse was of a style from the late 1940s to 1950s. Pam would often make her own clothes as well as the clothes for her children. Pam can't remember if she made the blouse or not. The pattern sections are incomplete, there are no pin holes in remaining pattern sections so may have not been used.
Hastie's General Drapers was owned by Bernie Hastie. The shop was originally built by Mrs E. Caldwell in the 1910s next to Hand's Butchers in Jull Street. Mrs Caldwell carried on business for many years before selling it in 1930 and it became known as Henwoods Bargain Centre. Bernie Hastie purchased the store in c1944 and operated it through to the 1970s.
