This is a loose and random collection of original knitting, crochet and needlework patterns from Victorian publications. I do knit, crochet and sew, however, these patterns at best can be described as a very loose collection of directions accompanied by photographs and/or illustrations and are in many instances beyond my skills and comprehension.

To view the patterns and instructions clearer, double click and expand as desired.

Good luck!

Sadly the tissue patterns that would have accompanied these magazines have all long since disappeared but these two illustrations show the effectiveness of using buttons to trim dresses and jackets. The back view is a different outfit, one assumes the front is fairly plain.

A bit of a challenge this one as there are No images of the cuffs - but they sound nice!
