You have almost no cutting and only a few seams to sew with this pattern for a graceful negligee from the 1920s , courtesy of Ruth Wyeth Spears. Ruth recommends that you use a soft fabric for this dressing gown. The negligee would make a great and quick gift. If it is intended as a gift, Ruth recommends that you try to harmonize with the colors in the wearer's bedroom. Delightful!

~*~ Hello and welcome to the Textile Trunk! Please follow us on Instagram, we are @textiletrunk ~*~ Massive and GORGOUS !!! An amazing, handmade textile. This wonderful textile is French and was hand- crocheted sometime between 1920-1940. It was originally white, however I have recently dyed it this lovely tone of mottled cornflower blue ( I LOVE this color), some areas have more blue, others have more purple, but all of it looks phenomenal (please see photos)! The thread is cotton. This textile would have taken a great deal of time to create. Two of the edges have a triangular scalloped trim- lovely! Ideal for use as a bed cover, table cover, tablecloth, window treatment, hanging, throw etc! It would look so charming just draped over the back of a sofa, adding so much country, farmhouse charm to any interior. MEASUREMENTS: This textile measures approximately: Length: 100 inches Width: 80 inches CONDITION: Freshly laundered and ready to use! Lovely condition indeed. There is a small area of damaged as pictured. The color is mottled with some variation in color across the textile. We love the way this looks but it may not be for everyone! This textile is in wonderful condition for its age and use. All antique textiles have light signs of time and use, often inherent in these wonderful antique finds! Etsy G37 20221214

Home sewing tips, 1920s.

I have to admit, this tip has to be one of the most versatile of Ruth Wyeth Spear's tips for 1920s home sewer. A scalloped edge on a garment is a favorite no matter what the decade. With Ruth's template you can change a garment to include scalloped edging painlessly. Sweet! This tip also includes some general guidelines when dressing for shopping and the street - subdued style and moderate colors are the keys. :) As always, click on the image to enlarge it for printing out the template, and just easier reading.
