Picture of Kitchen Proverbs Pattern Set - Tipnut.comHere’s the latest embroidery pattern set I’ve chosen for the next vintage series to share, and these ones are pretty unique I think. I believe this set is at least 40 years old (1960s)…They’re six different patterns for tea towels depicting a sweet bonnet girl each with a different Kitchen Proverb.

Here are the instructions for the set:

Materials:

  • O.N.T. Six-Strand Embroidery Floss in the following colors: Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Peach or Flesh, Brown and Black
  • 6 Towels

Note: These designs can be framed separately for attractive panels in your kitchen or dining room.

Use 4 strands of floss to embroider designs; 3 strands for lettering, or thickness desired.

Kitchen Proverb: A New Broom Sweeps Clean - Tipnut.comI left the trial sample on the pattern, you would just ignore that when transfering to your fabric. There are also some minor fold lines on the copy, ignore those too when transferring.

Printing Instructions: Save the pattern to your desktop first (right click, save as…), open the file, select “Print”, uncheck anything like “Maintain Aspect Ratio” and “Fit To Page” then print. These will all fit on an 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of paper.
