I promised I'd show you more of the patterns I found recently. These happen to all be from the 70's (are you surprised?). First of all, may I just say that I LOVE this red skirt and blouse with the rick rack?! I want it:
And the cropped peasant blouse with embroidered bodice is pretty cute, too. Embroidery transfers were included:
A couple of different styles here:
Along with embroidery transfers to create this blouse:
These blouses have insets and/or lace trim. The one at bottom left called for using a purchased handkerchief with corner embroidery - what a cute idea!
For this one in blue, they suggested purchased iron-on embroidery:
I also found this pattern consisting of embroidery transfers from 1976. I was very happy to find this one!
Why?
Because it is the very one that I used to embroider this iris onto a blue cotton chambray shirt way back when. 1976, huh? That sounds about right....
I also found a neat Coats & Clark's booklet, "Ideas For Embroidery". I really like some of the designs inside:
Love these guys:
Pretty stuff:
The first time I showed you the iris I had done, I said that I hadn't embroidered anything in years.
Unfortunately, that is still the case. I suppose I probably COULD re-learn the stitches.

Very nice. I am wanting all those patterns. I know I had a top like the one on the left in the first pattern. You can relearn embroidery and should! It is good to do while watching TV or chatting with friends. Love T
Oh, yeah, I remember all that stuff. Those clothes were nice!
i wish i had all my old patterns.
I want to borrow the one with the handkerchief inserted in bodice, that gives me an idea. The style looks very forgiving to wear in my present 'plump' status!!!
Faith - I wish you had them, too!
This brings back so many memories for me. We embroidered our shirts, our pants, and anything we could get a needle in. :-)
