      1930s

      Patterns are highly professional, standardized. Motifs tend toward lush shapes, colors, or

      backgrounds. Boudoir pillows, potholders, and Day of the Week towels become increasingly

      popular. Novelty dolls, pajama bags, and other objects combine tinting, sewing, and

      embroidery. Styles are influenced by Art Deco—strong shapes and luxurious colors. Black is

      used as a background color for a stark, rich effect.

      1940s

      War-conscious patterns appear, including stuffed soldier dolls and motifs of soldiers with girls,

      etc. Patterns take on slightly cartooned features, such as chipmunk cheeks and especially

      large eyes, on a consistent basis, similar to other cartoon artwork of the period. Variety of

      shapes in linens decreases, leading to less complex hems and finishing. Period details are

      commonly used to add life to patterns. Increasingly refined patterns mimic the real world, but

      always as a caricature.

      1950s

      Patterns move from being highly rendered to being occasionally over-rendered (action lines,

      etc.) and complicated. Period details are no longer found. There are fewer pattern publishers

      to choose from. Elaborately feminine designs feature figures and lines consistent with the

      elegant fashions of the times.

      Embroidery Styles Through the Years

      Here’s a tip-of-the iceberg, seat-of-your-pants synopsis of the basic trends of

      art embroidery patterns, almost 100 years in less than 500 words!

      The fascination with humanizing pets

      became popular in the 1920s. Puppies,

      kittens, and other species enjoyed their

      leisure time in very human ways. Active

      animals were not limited to kids’ items,

      but showed up throughout the house,

      especially in the kitchen. (Patterns on

      pages 73, 74, 100, and 131.)

      Unmistakably art deco, the top pillow updated 1930s

      Colonial style with background tinting. The fruit basket

      tablecloth corner in the middle shows how pattern

      companies would often update popular patterns to

      keep them fresh, leading to somewhat eclectic results.

      The bluebird pattern at the bottom dates back to the

      1940s, though its style and subject reach back to the

      turn of the century. (Patterns on pages 144, 56, and 63.)

      The rectangular pillow shown here combines

      the silhouette trend of the 1920s and 1930s

      with the pastel palette of boudoir pillows.

      The colors of the square pillow make a big

      impact when contained within the black

      outlining that was classic in the 1920s.
