Bias tape Birds

Pattern to make birds from pieces of bias tape and embroidered details.
Mail order pattern from 1969.

These were intended to embellish little girls' dresses, aprons, and towels.
A quilt would be nice too.

Weaving on a handheld loom

This booklet from 1945 features design ideas using a handheld loom.


Look at all the great weaving designs possible, just from varying color and direction.

And looms just aren't for potholders either!
Wow, stuffed animals--


Baby items--


Even a doll!


Purse designs are posted on my bag blog.

Vintage goodness, little girls weaving

Hi!

I'm able to use a client's computer all week, so hopefully I can play catch up on this blog and on blog reading.
Whew! It's exhausting!

I posted a new theme for my purse challenge today, and a killer prize too, so check it out.

For now I think I'll just show a cute vintage children's cookbook I picked up on ebay.
The illustrations are precious.
The book was published in 1952.



Here are some of the images associated with certain recipes:
