I started the snooty parrots sampler by Barbara Ana
Stitching on 40ct vintage light examplar w/GA threads
I wish I could take better photos of this 1938 tape measure. My mom gave it to me awhile ago, it was my grandmothers. It is the neatest thing ever
It is called a Tattle-Tape for women, it-tells-on-you. It has what's good figures for your bust waist and hips. Some of the things on the tape is For beauty, health and appearance check your weight and measurements each month. If your weight is within 10% of our charts and your proportions check with our tables.... You have a lovely figure. If this tape tattles on figure faults, remember, Charis and Swavis foundation garments always improve figure lines. Copyright by Roger Mattenson - Minneapolis, Minn, 1938
Almost time for bed, the warm fresh air today, tired me out

Lovely Progress Ranae!
I think that the tape would always be tattling on me :)
What a treasure to have since it was your Grandmother's.
Have a great week!
Very pretty progress...

Lovely stitching. The tape is so cute! Shame they dont still make them!
Your sampler progress is wonderful! I love that measuring tape -- what fun!
Great start & a treasure of a vintage tape measure! Sadly I wouldn't need to have it to show me I'm way over that 10%.

Oh goodness! That is cute and really neat to have.
Snooty Parrots is a lovely sampler and you made great progress Ranae! Those tape measures are a hoot!! Such a great keepsake from you Grandmother!
That looks like the beginning of a great sampler. The measuring tape is quite the treasure, especially because it belonged to your Grandmother.
isn't that fun - the tape I mean! I know my grandmother who was way up in her 90's when she died and a tiny petite thing ALWAYS wore a panty girdle way up into her 80's. Good luck on your Snooty - I am way behind schedule on the Snooty FB SAL but I'm trying to hang in there. Have a great week - Mel
What a fun tape measure, and how lovely it is a family treasure passed on to you.
