I love the early photos from the Folkwear archives. The black and white images and the styling evoke romanticism and imagination. These are all of 203 Edwardian Underthings, this month's featured pattern (last photo also has 102 French Cheesemaker's Smock).
Have you seen these photos before? What do they make you think of?

If you are making the 227 Edwardian Gown, you might also make the 203 Edwardian Underthings to wear beneath. This gown is stunning with the lace insertion, edge lace, and train. Made in white muslin it is soft, feminine, and perfect for summer.

We just had to show off these images from customers who send them to us for our Oldest Folkwear contest. The 203 Edwardian Underthings was one of Folkwear's earliest historic patterns. These show the beauty and the sweetness that comes from Folkwear patterns. 💕 Lace, ribbons, embroidery, and fun with friends. Across many years and generations.

Our 203 Edwardian Underthings pattern makes the cutest separates! Wear with jeans or a skirt. Add tucks, lace, ribbon, or flounces (all taught in the pattern) to make these garments fit your taste. Great vintage or everyday wear. We love this pattern! And it is on sale all month!

We are still showing off the amazing makes that were sent to us during our Handwork Contest in April/May. The 142 Old Mexico Dress is always a favorite. A great canvas for embroidery (and we have a Mexican embroidery pattern that can be used too). We loved seeing these and hearing from customers who had attended the Mexican embroidery class. And who said this was one of the most comfortable shirts to wear in the summer (I agree!). So check out what everyone made and let me know if you've made this top!

First photo has a selection of blouses made with different fabrics and some border embroidery.
Second photo has the 142 Old Mexico Blouse without sleeves and with our Wildflower Embroidery pattern.
The rest of photos are with versions of the Old Mexico Embroidery pattern.

All so beautiful!

If you are loving our new 149 Norwegian Busserull pattern, you should check out our 102 French Cheesemaker's Smock! It is another European folk work shirt, that traditionally was made with a striped fabric, worn for farm work, and has a neck placket. These work shirts are boxy and comfortable, and not hard to sew!

The 107 Afghan Dress is a perfect canvas for creativity -- mixed fabrics, embroidery, sh**ha, beading, and more. And we got some gorgeous entries of this dress for our Handwork Contest last month. This incredible beaded and embroidered dress, then a dress with hand applique and quilting (with metallic thread), and finally a beautiful white on white embroidery with sh**ha embroidery with silver coins from around the world. So much creativity! So beautiful.
