Front of the sampler - 2 different ways of attaching lace, button holes, think at the top were ways of making openings for pockets and my initials in satin stitch plus a scalloped finish! And the zip!
Back of the sampler - pretty good for a young girl - not sure how old I was - but would have been 10 - 12 yrs old. What a shame it's not taught today. Would have been on a treadle machine too.
Fascinating piece of history!
