Wonderful antique embroidered whitework collars and mongrams at Rag Rescue

I recently bought a lot of white work which was acquired from 'The Hermitage' Country House in Northumberland. This house had been untouched for at least a century in fact it was a time capsule. The Morant family had thrown very little away and items were stored very well in attics etc.

Today I am listing a few of the whitework embroidered pieces from the above collection. Others are from a different collection.

Try your hand at smocking

If you have been watching this blog or the Rag Rescue website, you will know that I have been listing 1950's pieces of smocking. These came from a lady who made children's dresses for the 'Liberty' store.

Tomorrow I am listing two pieces that are incomplete and just need a few lines to finish and also two pieces that have not had the embroidery done at all. They are already pulled up so it should be easy to work the embroidery pattern.

More 1950s smocking pieces at Rag rescue tomorrow

Being listed tomorrow at 7am at the Rag Rescue website

This smocking came from a house clearance where the lady created children's clothes for 'Liberty'.
The smocking is perfectly executed as you would expect it to be if it was going to be sold by 'Liberty'
