1938 & 2013 Proof Reader Flunkies
I am so excited! Two rows of ruffles and one row of pre-made eyelet ruffling so far has been sewn on this tea towel. They're not perfect, but not bad for my first time making ruffles in this manner:
The top is sewn straight, the towel was scrunched up in this picture. :) But. . . But. . . and this pains me to say it as a former college newspaper editor and an advertising proof reader for a daily newspaper, the second word in this 1938 advertisement has a typo. It should read, "For fifty" not "For fifity".
Oh no! :) Still, it's a cute piece I think. I'm going to take this down to the cottage over vacation so I can use the serger to serge the sheer fabric ruffles instead of using my Singer sewing machine.
I'll let you know when it's finished! :)
