kitty: turning back the time

Have you ever sat and wondered if you were able to turn back time what your craft patterns would look like. Would your next project be a knitted bodice with sleeves to fit over your corset? Maybe you would be setting up to needlepoint a hunting dog for your footstool this fall, because you wanted something new for the back parlor for Christmas. Or maybe you need a new needle book cover for your sewing box. When MG, and I first set up Knitbuddies, one of my hopes was to be able to post some of the historical resources that I have in my collection from the 1800's to share with everyone. Over the weekend I actually sat down and posted 3 months of the Work Department section from a 1869 Godey's Lady's Book. My copies are in pretty bad shape so I am pretty afraid of scanning them, so sorry if the pages are not perfectly square. Hopefully I will find some more time to get more posted soon. Hope you enjoy them. Godey's Lady's Book - 1869 January 1869 - Work Department February 1869 - Work Department March 1869 - Work Department
