This is Butterick 10202, and I don’t know what year it was published, but it’s pretty darn old. I love anthropomorphic animals, but inanimate objects are even better. My favorites in this group are the brush family, the senior silverware, the plate parade, and the clothespins. I really need to stitch some of these on towels or an apron.
The transfers were a little rough and my digital clean up is far from perfect, but fortunately these are simple drawings, so I don’t think you’ll have any trouble tracing them. Ha! Looking at this envelope, I just realized I forgot to reverse the images. . .oh well, I guess it doesn’t really matter. Click each image for full size.
They look fun!

ooooh….. those look kind of scary to me. lol
I love these designs! I remember embroidering designs like this when I was a little girl – we would embroider them on feedsack cloths to use to dry our dishes. Wonderful!!
My gramma had dancing crockery embroidered on her dish towels and as an adult I wanted my kitchen to be as much like hers as I could make it. It was, after all, the bright center of my childhood universe. I spent so many pre-internet years searching for those patterns or ones like them and despairing of ever finding them. Now I have a real collection and love stitching new towels and pot holders with these old designs. Thank you so much for making these available for us!!
These are hilarious! I love them, thanks for sharing!
Those brushes are just too funny. Since their hair is now a real style, seen on TV even, I wish I could hear the original artist’s comments upon seeing them!
Oh wow I think I have seen some of these in my youth. Too funny!
These are great!! Thank you for sharing vintage embroidery patterns, I just love them!!
How does the cup stay on the saucer when it’s jumping rope? These are fun!
