Its trim is the star: star-shaped flowers worked in rick-rack and embroidery on crossed rick-rack stems. The transfer carries 40 motifs, enough for two pairs of curtains, a breakfast cloth or scarf, eight napkins, four pot holders, and the apron, with directions for making each. The apron takes about 1¼ yards of 35-inch material and 7 yards of rick-rack in the Small size; linen, percale, unbleached muslin, dimity, dotted Swiss, lawn, sateen, organdy, chambray, and cotton with a linen finish are suggested. Four pieces and one transfer; the transfer is printed by Kaumagraph and numbered 512.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-section=\"fashion-history\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Moment in Fashion History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoordinated kitchens were a 1930s fashion of their own, as homemakers dressed windows, tables, and themselves in matching colors and trims. This pattern turns one transfer into a full kitchen set, the kind of thrifty, decorative project that made rick-rack one of the defining trims of the decade. Kaumagraph, whose name is on the transfer, was a leading maker of hot-iron embroidery transfers in these years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-section=\"illustration\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIllustration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe envelope front and back are shown as scanned, framed on our blue mat without retouching, so the artwork appears in its true color and condition. The front shows a woman in the apron beside a window hung with matching rick-rack curtains, a breakfast cloth, napkins, and pot holders, with a large detail of the rick-rack flower. We've also included a photo of the transfer sheet: the apron motif has been cut out and used, and the other motifs remain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-section=\"connections\" data-connection-type=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConnections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pattern is part of our exhibit, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vintage4me2.com\/collections\/kitschy-kitchen-mccall-edition\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKitschy Kitchen -- McCall Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, a growing collection celebrating the whimsical, decorative side of kitchen textiles.
