Weldon's Eighth Series

Weldon's Eighth Series is full of "Useful Articles" and claims there are 31 illustrations. The original version may have had 31 illustrations but I came up with 25 when I counted them. There are 24 patterns in this series so there is an illustration for every pattern and two illustrations for one of them.

Nine of the patterns were for children or babies. The illustrations for some drawers, a little Jersey Jacket, an infant's Jacket and a muff and boa for a child are below. They also had two versions of baby boots, a petticoat and a frock.

​For adults we have "Simple V-shaped Pelerine", a semi-circular shawl (below), and the Opera Hood (above right). There is also a ladies petticoat, another shawl and some gloves for a "gentleman'.

​Some of the non-wearable items included the Square for a Quilt below which I considered making, a pretty Antimacassar with flowers, a complicated lace pattern and a fluted border. 

There was also a crochet "medallion" and that will be my project for next week. If it turns out well it may go to the county fair in the doily category.
