As promised, I have scanned the chapter on using bias tape from a late 20's or possibly very early 30's sewing book from the Spool Cotton Company; it can be downloaded from my Flickr account. Three pages of illustrations on making collars from bias tape are included (left-click on the above for more detail). If I have time this weekend I'll scan the rest of the booklet.
Thank you for the download! Doing a play set inthe 20's come spring, so this is valuable!
ReplyDeleteAren't they beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing!
pretty! Have you put up any sewn hat patterns? I've got a short haircut now and looking for vintage hats to make. thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnon - please check my Flickr account for other 1920's patterns. Would love to see pictures of the finished product when you're done!
ReplyDeleteBarbe, I have only a couple of sunbonnets.

ReplyDeleteHoly moly. Those are gorgeous.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me you're going to put these patterns to good use. Perhaps you'll show us pix when they're done?
Miss Kitty, I put my patterns to the best possible use. I share them :-)
ReplyDelete(Seriously, if I had to do all of these projects I could never die).
Share them? Ohh, do tell! :-P
ReplyDeleteMy Mom would crap if I asked her to put these designs on a collar. I can't embarrass her, but I *can* 1) gross her out; and 2) make her say "I need a drink" by showing her awesome/difficult patterns. EPIC LOLZ!
In the meantime, I'll be working on my hand-stitchery skills.
This is really fantastic; lots of great, usable ideas. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWell, I didn't scan the rest of the booklet...I slept most of the weekend (op-tempo is heating up at work, lots of overtime but man am I tired).
ReplyDeleteMaybe this weekend.
Behave yourself, Miss Kitty; the last thing I need is a southern mama mad at me...
