Morning Modelbuch (11/5/2018)

I love this extant embroidered Italian apron and it’s on my list of things I want to recreate. So of course I’m playing, ” is this pattern a close enough match.” The scrolls with leaves and fountain is a popular motif, but I probably haven’t found the actual antecedent. Still fun to look though.
