This is a crisp and simple style from the 1940s. A combination of three letters, plus companion borders will create a square monogram. This style looks great on linens and towels, and can also be used for fashion sewing on a scarf or for an eye-catching embellishment on a jacket. While a standard monogram traditionally shows the last name initial as the largest, this style is designed to have that initial placed on the right.
Not everyone has three initials, so in addition to the combined triple border, we have included each of those three lines as an individual design, which will make it easy to create single letter and two-letter monograms.
The artwork for this monogram style is from 1937. The satin stitch letters are embellished with four rounded satin stitch dots in ascending sizes, top to bottom. These elements can easily be eliminated for a simpler look.
In the 1930s and 40s, department stores like Woolworths sold iron-on transfer patterns for a wide variety or subject matter, including monogramming. The patterns could be transferred to fabric with a hot iron, and the pattern then used for hand embroidery. This style is based on one of those patterns. In addition to creating a three-letter diamond monogram, the smaller left and right flanking letters can be used together to create a two-letter diamond shape.
This style is featured in "Simply Napkins" by Gail Brown and Mary Mulari, Krause Publications, 2003.
Based on an early 20th Century British alphabet for incised (carved) lettering, our version uses satin stitch columns that are split and overlapped to create an unusual monogram style with both thin and wide elements.
