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.

Good luck!

The instructions for this are missing. A challenge indeed.

Tape and Crochet Insertion for Letting in Petticoats
