New Monogram Style for

Digitized from artwork from 1937, this monogram set combines thin vertical satin stitch letters with a festive border that is basically geometric, but with a bit of extra flare in the longest brackets - knobs at the ends. The brackets can be sewn in two colors as shown, with contrasting letter color, or everything can be sewn in one tone-on-tone color. Great for napkins.

The artwork for several of the letters in this monogram set came to us from the catalogue of a 1940s commercial monogram shop - we imagined and recreated the rest. Make two or three-letter combinations from larger and smaller scale satin stitch letters on top of the lily-of-the-valley background design - the combinations created can be sewn with one or two thread colors.
The voids in the one-color fill pattern create roses - the pattern is different for each letter. Large, 1930s-inspired monogram letters look wonderful on linens, garments or special projects.
This is a French monogram style from 1937, and was originally intended for lingerie. In addition, it would make a stylish embellishment above the pocket of a blouse, or on table linens. The design has a charming informal quality and comes with a two color v-shaped border - leaves and stylized flowers.
This unusual monogram style is digitized from artwork from 1934. The satin stitch oval, with interior thorn shapes, is joined with graceful, theatrical letters. A matching alphabet style occupies the upper space - the combination of the two creates a vertical monogram that evokes classic pre-war style and elegance. The monogram may be sewn all in one color, and the letters can be used alone, without the background shape.
