"Ribbons, Trimmings, and Flowers"
A guide to beautiful vintage ornamentation
Adapted and edited from an original 1916 text, Granny's new CD in .pdf format, "Ribbons, Trimmings, and Flowers" is an invaluable resource for the Victorian or Edwardian seamstress, milliner, or re-enactor. Originally designed as a text for young ladies studying the "domestic arts", this wonderful guide, in Adobe Acrobat® .pdf format, provides illustrated instructions for vintage ornamentation and trimming suitable for bonnets, hats, gowns, and all manner of ladies' dress. Even ladies of modest means will now be able to greatly add to the general appearance of a simple frock with a bit of ribbon, time, and practice. Adobe Acrobat Reader® is required to view the CD. You may download it here. From ruffles, to flowers of all kinds, to fruit and bows, this little manual covers it all. (Click here to view the index.) Easy to follow, illustrated directions, adapted right from those who taught these techniques to our grandmothers! Get your copy today, and begin creating!
