FYI: Many of our customer's favorite CD Republications™ are now becoming available in Spiral Bound Pattern Book™ format!

This item is a great resource for those who are SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) members, historical reenactment enthusiasts, students of historical clothing, fiber and textile arts, etc!

This HISTORIC item contains instructions, diagrams, designs and instructional fundamentals for creating a variety of ribbon art items used in millinery and clothing embellishments. There are many ANTIQUE ARTS & CRAFTS ERA designs and instructions included! There are many unique, antique patterns, instructions and diagrams for ultra-feminine, lacy, beribboned adornments!

An excerpt:

"This book gives exact instructions to dressmakers, milliners and home needle-workers for the making of flowers and leaves, together with 47 illustrations and suggestions for their use."

"The easiest way to work out the instructions in this book is to collect on your work-table bits of silk, ribbon or even cambric to experiment with, then with a tape-measure, scissors, needle and thread follow each stem of a process in the order given...These flowers will be very simple indeed if you will follow this suggestion."

The antique and vintage ribbon, thread, fabrics, etc., can be found on eBay quite readily. You just have to hunt a little bit! :) Or, of course, you can utilize contemporary tools and materials found at a near by fabric, craft or hobby store…
