The following embroidery design was originally published in 1916.
Description reads:
With Christmas not so many weeks away, embroidery designs to be used on Christmas gifts are especially in demand. This week designs of bluebirds in different sizes are shown. Next week there will be the first half of an embroidery alphabet in flower design and the following week the second half will appear.
In using the printed design from the paper, the directions are as follows: If the material is sheer, the easiest way is to lay it over the design, which will show through plainly, and draw over each line with a hard, sharp pencil. If your linen is heavy, buy a piece of impression paper – the kind that does not rub off – lay it on your material, place the design over it, and trace with a hard pencil. You will find the design neatly transferred.
