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.

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.

Artwork from the early 1900s is the basis for this style. Digitized in satin stitch with thin, graceful, curling elements, this monogram style can be used to create a three-letter monogram by staggering the placement of the flanking letters - a two-letter monogram is just as attractive. A delicate style for linens and napkins.
