Superior Transfer Designs .... Vintage Things Thursday

It's that wonderful day of the week..Vintage Things Thursday....I so enjoy looking at everyone's beautiful vintage things..and I know you will as well. So scamper on over to Suzanne
and see what all the fun is about. Thanks Suzanne for hosting us..

My offering for this Thursday, are these vintage transfer patterns. They are from Superior Transfer Design...# 167. There is a small sticker on back that says: J.C.Penny Co. .... .10

I believe from the hairstyle on the picture, the pattern may be from the late 30's -early 40's, tho I'm not totally sure. The transfer designs can be used for most anything..embroidery or a combination of both embroidery and applique.

You can print off a copy of the design..then trace the design with Dritz Iron On Transfer Pencil and will make your own iron on transfer design. The Dritz pencil works great..I found mine at JoAnn's, where as we all know, everything wonderful can be found. :)

  3. Hi Amy..I probably won't use them, but maybe run a copy off and use my trandsfer pencil. I hate to use an old pattern if I don't have to.

  4. Yes, CUTE is the word of the day! But that they are - also "adorable"! I can just picture the colors in my mind.

  6. I remember well tracing patterns, using carbon type paper & special pencils, that was LOTS of work. I sure wouldn't spend the time now though!They do look like circa 30's or 40's hairstyles.

  8. I've never seen any like those and that's a good idea from Colorado Lady. I guess we can snag them from you and print them out. Of course, then one would have to know what to do with it..
    Thank you for sharing. Your patterns and transfers are all so cute.

  9. A great way to make your embroidery and save the original transfer. Eat the cake and keep it!

  11. Oh, these are so cute...Thanks for the pattern, I am going to print this off and maybe try the cross-stitch embroidery over the applique. I have some vintage-look toweling and this will be perfect!

  16. These transfers are really cute. I can actually see myself using the ones with the cherries. Wouldn't it make a great appliqued table cloth?

  21. My MIL gave me some of these years ago. I can't remember what I did with them packed away somewhere probably. I didn't know what to do with them at the time. Oh well!

    I have recently started teaching myself to embroider and I really like it.

  23. Hi, CC - I've been trying all week to catch up on reading blogs - finally! These transfers are wonderful. I have some, but I've never seen these. I'm with you - I'd probably copy them rather than use the transfer.
