These supplements from the Magasin des Demoiselles were often cut apart to share patterns with other needleworkers, or glued into a book of favorite patterns. We have some incomplete supplements where someone cut out a favorite, and sometimes a single pattern that looks like it might come from one of these supplements. Fortunately the publisher numbered the patterns individually, starting each volume with 1 and increasing the number for each issue of that volume. That helps in identifying missing fragments. This collection patterns is fortunately complete. The grid of each pattern was drawn separately and sometimes has a different size, which makes charting the entire collection on one chart difficult. We’ve chosen to chart each pattern separately and also keep the legends separate, so you can split the pdf per pattern and share the individual patterns with friends and fellow needleworkers, exactly as it was done in the 19th century.
