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.

Tape and Crochet Insertion for Letting in Petticoats

Layman's notes: 'Letting in' to my mind would suggest taking in, but I believe the opposite is the case. If you have grown out (as in UP) of your petticoat you can add this insertion to lengthen it.
