A Fashionable Past



I thought I would share
some of the pages of
Old
1890's
Norwegian Ladies Pattern
Sheets

these had been stored in
My Great Grand Mother's Sewing
machine crate...

They traveled here
in 1903 from
Norway when My Gram
was 3 years old

these are complete pattern sheets, follow
along the different lines...



all written in Norwegian


see the Embroidery for the name
Ella
a name we hear so much today

What Creative Inspiration
from
the Past Generations....

  1. Hi Cheryl, this is fabulous, I'd try to frame some of these if you could without destroying the book. They are amazing, the ornate designs are just gorgeous lucky you for finding this! Thanks for sharing the inspiration at VIF! xoxo
