CC of Lace ‘n’ Ribbon Roses has two treats for us today: a vintage Sunbonnet Sue pattern and a chickenscratch butterfly pattern. Go to her blog and grab them up!
Sunbonnet Sue is a classic embroidery pattern that has been around since the late 19th century. It features a young girl wearing a bonnet and dress, holding a basket or umbrella.
The pattern was first created by Ella J. Sperry, a popular embroidery artist of the time. The pattern quickly became popular and was used by many embroiderers to decorate quilts, clothing, and other items.
Today, Sunbonnet Sue is still popular among embroiderers and quilters, and there are many free patterns available online. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced embroiderer, Sunbonnet Sue is a great pattern to start with – it’s easy to learn and can be adapted to suit any skill level. So if you’re looking for a classic pattern to get started with, Sunbonnet Sue is it!
I have such a fondness for chicken scratch. There’s just something about it 🙂 Thanks for the heads up on the pattern!
