The patterns that are in here? You can copy them. There is even a how-to part on how to copy and transfer patterns. There are several images of fabulously embroidered bed linens, a girl's mid-19th century dress, the patterns aren't complicated or very tediously done, just extremely eye-popping: the white linen background with the darkly coloured embroidered leaves, flowers, and so on in a lovely "bouquet" of sorts. These designs are in no way outdated or out of style for any year'. Index.. Fine .
