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!

NO! It's just my sleeves. I have actually made an outfit very similar to this one, there was a whole yard of fabric gathered into the upper sleeve that required stiff netting inside to keep its shape!
