Description
This listing is for a machine embroidery design for a c. 1826 floral sprigged apron or fichu. It consists of a waving border of vines with leaves and flowers, edged with delicate scallops. There is also a small floral spray that can be used alone or with the border to create aprons or handkerchiefs suitable for the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This design for muslin embroidery was originally published in the June 1826 edition of Ackermann’s Repository of Arts, Literature, Commerce, Manufactures, Fashions and Politics, as seen in the third image.
This design includes 4 pieces: two corners, one straight border section, and the floral spray. This design forms a square approximately 9″ x 9″ when you use two corners and one border. Each additional border piece adds approximately 3.5″. Samples have been stitched in fine cotton embroidery thread on cotton lawn, using the options for a cutwork edge.

They may contain details that you are not used to seeing in modern machine embroidery designs, such as more color changes or jump stitches between areas.
