Pattern
There are no pattern
pieces. This is just the sheet of paper
that wrapped around the pattern pieces.
This was for a Briar Patch Designs, Inc. # 17 Meghan-Brad by Becky
Summers, 1980, USA. I have left this
single sheet in with the lot so that you can see what the original seamstress
had in mind. It has wear, wrinkles, and
ink. Again, there are no pattern pieces.
Embroidery Floss
5 used skeins of DMC
Floss as used for the smocked design
All patterns, fabric,
threads are vintage items and sold…AS IS.
