Part Two of The Edwardian Lady Set - Free patterns and a stitch along

Welcome everyone!

Here is the second part of The Edwardian Lady Set that

I am currently making at the moment, the patterns used are all freebies!

The pattern for the Parasol pinkeep is Part One that I blogged about here. 

The alphabet letter is a free pattern from The Tempus Fugit blog here, to find the alphabet pattern go to the paragraph on the page that says "If you want to find easily the charts for this SAL you can upload this file  made by my friend SOF" and click on that sentence. (Please DO NOT email me for the alphabet chart, it is only fair that you get it from the correct source)  

Part Three is a  hand made box with accessories to match, including a felt needlebook with white roses embroidery, a lace trimmed bottlecap pincushion and a strawberry  scissor fob - pictures coming soon!
