This drawing shows a border of flowers and leaves on a brown background. The flowers are white, purple, and blue, with green leaves and pine branches mixed in. Thin lines outline each plant, and some flowers have small dots inside their petals. The image looks like a pattern for embroidery, with careful details for stitching. It’s from the 1790s, so it reflects how people decorated clothes back then. Next, check out embroidery to see how these designs were turned into real fabric.
