MCM 60s Home Decor Pattern Curtains Smocked Pillows Smocking Transfer Bedspread McCall's 6257
This is an original pattern and smocking transfer. It remains unused. This Pattern Contains 3 Transfer Pieces and 1 Leaflet. Pattern includes one transfer for lattice smocked 12" X 18" oblong pillow (A) without boxing or bench pad (B) with boxing as illustrated. Also included are two transfer sheets of lattice smocking 36" X 54" to be used for other decorator items, such as round 15" stool pad (C) illustrated, Square Pillows, Cafe curtains, Valances, Bedspread, Pillow Shams, etc. Each transfer will stamp several times depending on the fabric used.
Bold smocking, stamped as well as worked on the wrong side of the fabric forms a very elaborate-looking pleated lattice effect on the right side of the fabric. The enclosed leaflet gives instructions for cutting, smocking and making pillows or pads and 30" cafe curtains and general instructions for estimating amount of fabric required for any item to be smocked. 1962.
Envelope has had extensive repairs with archival tape. This will not affect the pattern or transfer.
