Aunt Martha's Workbasket, September 1937


A nice grab-bag of projects, including buttons and toys from walnut shells and other found objects, a swagger coat in crochet, a dazzling "Star of Stars" quilt, the usual offensive racial stereotype embroidery pattern, and much more.  Free download at the Antique Pattern Library.

Amazing what you find. I've never seen buttons made from walnut shells before. Acorns, vegetable marrow, horn, wood, shells, and other found things, but never before walnuts. Who knew?

Seal the walnuts well otherwise they will crack when you go to button them.
