Originally published in June of 1927, this rare publication of french embroidery patterns contains design suggestions for use in making a pair of curtains with a hunting theme, geometric/berry design for an oval mat or rectangular cushion, poppy design for tablecloth and napkins, a beautiful miniature heart design for two girls undergarments, a cherry embroidery design for a little girl's apron, monograms and decorative designs for napkins, tablecloths, handkerchiefs, lingerie, towels and other linens. Also included are two reduced size patterns for making two 1920s easy-to-sew young girl's undergarments.  

Not only can these one-of-a-kind vintage designs be used for embroidery, they would also perfectly accent your sewing, stenciling, scrapbooking or painting projects.

Originally printed in a hard-to-use oversized 11x17 format, this book has been reduced to a standard book size for easier pattern use/storage and contains all of the original designs.

Please see images for a sampling of patterns included. Be sure to check our other auction listings for more vintage La Broderie Blanche's as well as other vintage handicraft books.
