Sewing catalogue advertisements_1887

Vintage sewing theme advertisements, 1887

  I can't seem to resist an old sewing magazine or catalog. And sometimes those pages of advertisements are just striking, almost like they're asking to be shared with crafters and ephemera lovers for the present. 

   Or perhaps I just overthink things! 😉

  In any case, I loved these pages from Ingalls' Illustrated Catalogue from Lynn, Massachusetts, published circa 1887.

   The above is the original; the one below is a black-and-white version. (The original color wasn't my favorite, let's just say...)
