Vintage Embroidery Transfers on Flickr

I just came across this lovely set of vintage embroidery transfers on Flickr. I do a little embroidery from time to time, and this set is sparking a few ideas.

I’m especially in love with the little delicate flower motifs. Not long ago, I came across a pair of vintage tap pants in an antique shop. They were a delicate shell pink silk with tonal embroidery of flowers and the name “Betty” in a flowing script. They were just gorgeous. Now all I can think of is making myself some silk loungewear with beautiful embroidered motifs like these.

Definitely check out the rest of this set of embroidery!

I’ve had tattoos on the mind lately, but some of those would make lovely tattoos as well!

Oh gorgeous! Thank you for the link. I’m particularly drawn to the pink flowers.

All parts of these designs would make a very interesting quilt label. That way it does enriches the simpler and impressive label…
