“A pattern for the border of a handkerchief and shirt”

These would look so beautiful done in whitework on a muslin gown!

What a charming little border!

By the way, this is my 1000th post. The part of me that likes symmetry is really excited that I hit my 1000th post and 1000th like within one day of each other. Here’s to many thousands more!

These are beautiful little motifs! I would really like to buff up my embroidery skills!

Posting embroidery patterns got a huge go-ahead from y’all, so I’ll start posting them. There aren’t a lot- generally only 2 or 3 a year and not all publications did them- so don’t expect to see them too frequently, but I’ll sneak them in here and there! Enjoy!

I have a question for you guys. A few publications have “muslin patterns” which I assume are for embroidery. They aren’t really fashion plates, but I think they are really lovely and fascinating. If you like them I can post some more, if not then I won’t put any others up. What do you say?
