Needlecraft March 1931

Go back 80 years........

You have just received your March issue of Needlecraft in the mail. You turn to the third page and you are enchanted with the article titled "Kitchen Aprons - Having Distinctive Charm".




"With a length of unbleached cotton, plenty of bias-fold and some charming designs for decoration, the construction of a fetching and practical apron is easy for any modern needlewoman." The first paragraph proclaims!

Starting on the left, "Ship Ahoy" has rose binding and black outline embroidery. "Lucky Clover" is of course- green applique clovers with green binding. Next is "Bonnibel" with blue bellflower appliques and blue binding. "Ringflower" is bound in lavender with flowers of rose, lavender and blue.

They are still enchanting after 80 years! I wish I had the patterns for them. Some day I am going to draft the patterns for them. I love the appliques and embroidery! Can't you just see them in your mind's eye in color?!
