Yay for getting started early with the sewing! Getting stuff done in advance is a great feeling (and one that I am not going to be experiencing this summer :p).
As for the weird date thing with the pattern, that is REALLY strange. I have the pattern and can see where it says patented 1907. But the illustration and the style of blouse looks VERY WWI, like the lady's hairstyle and the low neck on the blouse and the narrow sleeves all scream mid- to late-1910s. I have no idea what's going on there. It's just bizarre.
