Butterfly Designs For Lingerie
Original text:
Embroidery design for butterflies for use on waists, lingerie, children’s clothes, etc. All the single lines in the butterflies should be outlined, or if a handsomer development is desired cover the lines with French stem or whipping stitch. on lingerie materials the dots in the wings of the butterflies could be worked in eyelet. If the butterflies are embroidered in colors, shades that harmonize with the background should be used.
