Honestly, I find it hard to believe that the average housewife had time to make covers for the talcum-powder box, but what do I know?
Here's an edging and insertion design sent in by a reader.
For a dime, you could get a book of tatting patterns and two balls of thread. Different times.
Now we're on to May.
I rather like this yoke. I could even see myself wearing it, if I had a dress or blouse it would fit on.
Till next time....
I absolutely LOVE old time needlecraft magazines. I have found some of the BEST tatting patterns in them! As soon as I get a scanner I'll be sharing some of mine,too! Thanks for sharing!

Good point, Miranda. How did those women find the time to tat those intricate patterns? Unless they had a lot of help in their home. Maybe they didn't - like us with all our books and patterns. Dreamers all!

I think they found time after the sun went down...at least that's what my Mother said. When the sun was up that's when they did all their "hard work" and when the sun went down they got to sit down and do their needlework by the lamp light.
