New vintage pattern-dainty crochet baby bonnet

I got the first two patterns completed from the vintage magazines that my sisters found for me.

Dainty Crochet Baby Bonnet pattern from 1928

It is a pretty style with a medallion on the crown and flower medallions across the brim.

Dainty Crochet Baby Bonnet in Irish Crochet from 1928

This bonnet has a center crown of a rose surrounded by six leaves, one attached to each petal.

I will next work on a few done in luscious tatting!

Enjoy, Debby

Magazines from 1920's....and some upcoming patterns

My sisters found some great magazines from the 1920's for me. They each are full of great articles, advertisements and patterns.

I will be working on some new patterns from them this week. I love baby bonnets so I will start with them.

There are some in lovely irish crochet work and others in tatting.

Enjoy,
Debby

Latest pattern: 10 Flapper era dresses from 1924

My mom had hip replacement surgery, so I have been busy helping my folks. The weather in Virginia has been very freaky with lovely warm sunny days then snow and freezing rain the next. Argh...

Well, today is back to sun and warm and I was able to do a little digging at a local 'junque' shop. I found this great article in an old magazine from 1924. It provides instructions to sew 10 great Flapper style dresses. They are very elegant looking and would be great for a wedding!

The PDF instructions are available from my shop on ETSY.

I hope you are having a great weekend! Debby
