History in an envelope

I purchased this Kaumagraph embroidery pattern with designs for trapunto,


but the real jewel is what was inside the envelope.
There was an old letter from the USO, dated 1945 (the date of the transfers also)

I don't know anything about the scrapbooks referred to here--do you know what those were?

But also inside was a drawing of how the lady who owned this pattern was going to use it to decorate a dress:


This fascinates me.
Did she ever complete her big plans, or did this join the pile of unfinished projects?
It's doubtful she completed the dress, because most of these transfers are unused.
Who was she?
Just a few lines on a piece of paper can invite so many questions.
