[h-cost] embroidered linen stomacher

[Bjarne og Leif Drews]

I have an original embroidery pattern for a ladys stomacher made with the 
whitework tecknique. Also a ladys cape.
The patterns comes from a collection at Nordiska Museum in Stockholm, where 
they belonged to a lady called Beata Jacquette Ribbing. She lived in the 
first half of the 18th century, so my guess would be these patterns being 
made between 1730- 50.
I have made a high resolution scanning of the patterns, and i could blow 
them up to normal size without problems. They are insane beautifull, and 
especially the stomacher it is possible to rekonstrukt. The pattern of the 
cape needs to be rekonstrukted in some of the areas, but with patience and 
skill its possible.
If anyone is interrested, i would not mind to post it to my website, so that 
you could copy it.
