Early Australian Linens - a private collection.

This blog was created to tie in with the exhibition of my linens held at Bundoora Homestead Art Centre, Vic. from August 29 to September 16, 2012. The collection is still growing, so this blog will be updated on a regular basis as I accumulate more items. Many of these are either partially complete, or not embroidered at all. I accquire my linens from a variety of sources including opshops, garage sales, eBay, and people who know I have a passion for vintage embroidery.

Un-worked aprons

Two more koala designs

These two are Miss Australia designs. There were a few different Miss Australia aprons, but unfortunately no dates were printed on any of them, so it is a guessing game to figure out which year if any, the girls represented.

Aprons.

Can you see the spelling error? I am shocked that not only Semco spelt 'souvenir' incorrectly on the transfer pattern, but the person who stitched this didn't fix it up either!

This apron just needs one pocket re-stitched. Otherwise, a nice souvenir of the opening of Sydney Harbour Bridge.

How old would this design be - 1940's possibly?

Two variations of kookaburra designs for aprons.
