Cutie-pie Kewpies! Have fun with this days-of-the-week pattern set. They would be sweet on a baby quilt if you omit the printed days and chores.

Two patterns – a gentleman and lady worked in cross stitch.  

This set was probably designed before the days of Simon and Garfunkel or rosemary wouldn’t have been left out in the cold. Neat set of kitchen herb embroidery patterns with cool typography.

These wide edgings were designed originally for those sweeping skirts of the mid 1800s but today they would work on just about any modern full skirt. Of course, they would look lovely gracing the hem on fine linens…..pillowcases and sheets.    

Here’s a vintage Scottie dog days of the week pattern set for your stitching pleasure.    

Here’s a free pattern for a knitted diaper soaker to knit up in wool. Wool is absorbent and anti-bacterial and doesn’t have to be washed constantly. Coat with lanolin and it’s good to go! Knitted Diaper Shaped Soaker Abbreviations: K (knit) p (purl) sts (stitches) tog (together) inc (in­crease) Gauge: 6 sts equal 1 inch

Some really interesting aprons could be made with these instructions for weaving ribbon into a wearable apron. For the holidays, maybe try some polyester metallic gold or silver that usually is sold in wired rolls but the wire can be easily removed. Instructions: This apron requires 14 yards black ribbon 7/8-inch wide and 9 yards

There are 6 in this set starting with July. They are from Workbasket, the sheet being intact so it would seem there were no winter and spring flowers but maybe they only issued half the year at a time.    

Not very scary, really.

18 super cute animals to applique onto children’s clothing, quilts or use them in a soft baby book. Included are the tails to embroider using the cover photo as a guide to the lettering.
