Morning Modelbuch (4/22/2019)

16th-17th century apron owned by the Museum of Fine Art Boston. (Accession number 43.1034) Linen embroidered with gold and silk threads with ribbon waistband. https://www.mfa.org/collections/object/embroidered-apron-118822

The slip style patterns show up in several of the books, particularly those that transition into the 17th century like Sholeyker’s _Scholehouse for the Needle_ and Rosina Furst’s _Das neue model buch_

These particular ones are from _Teatro delle Nobili et Virtuose Donne_ 1616 by Iaabella Catanea Parasole, presented for net embroidery or knitting, but easily adaptable for polychrome.
