PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to the Ornamentation of Fabrics.
I, KATHARINA JOHANNAH MARIA ASTON nèe FAURE, 37, Bethel Street, Norwich,
Widow, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the ornamentation of fabrics and has for its object
to improve and enhance the effect of embroidered designs in such a manner that
the appearance of reality instead of imitation is imparted thereto.
The principle and specialité of the present invention is, that in addition to
the embroidering of a floral design upon any given or desired fabric, so far as
the stems, leaves and calyxes are concerned, the corollae are separately manipu-
lated to the requisite shape and contour, in another and different fabric and
fastened in position either by stitching or the use of an adhesive upon the first
named or ground fabric so as to produce the appearance of reality, the flowers
themselves being raised above and projecting from the flat surface of the back
ground.
In some cases the flowers may be embroidered and the stems leaves and calyxes,
or one or more of them may be manipulated in another fabric and attached to the
ground fabric as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in or relating to the Ornamentation of Fabrics.
I, KATHARINA JOHANNAH MARIA ASTON nèe FAURE, of 28, Dulverton Road,
Leicester, and formerly of 37, Bethel Street, Norwich, Widow, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
-
This invention relates to the ornamentation of fabrics and has for its object
to improve and enhance the effect of embroidered designs in such a manner that
the appearance of reality instead of imitation is imparted thereto.
The principle and specialité of the present invention is, that in addition to the
embroidering of a floral design upon any given or desired fabric, so far as the
stem, leaves and calyxes are concerned, the corollae are separately manipulated
to the requisite shape and contour, in another and different fabric and fastened in
position either by stitching or the use of an adhesive upon the first named or
ground fabric so as to produce the appearance of reality, the flowers themselves
being raised above and projecting from the flat surface of the back ground.

page_text: To carry out my invention, which will be clearly understood with the aid or
drawings, I take a piece of net or other fabric upon which it is intended to
produce the desired design.
I then embroider or crewel the stems, leaves and calyxes of any floral design
thereon and finally manipulate to the required shape and contour the corollae or
petals in another and a different fabric of the requisite colour and fasten the
latter in position by stitches or in any other suitable manner.
In some cases the corollae or petals may be produced by embroidering or
crewelling and the stems, leaves and calyxes or one or more of them may be
manipulated and attached to the ground fabric as hereinbefore described.
The latter however does not impart such an appearance of reality as the former
which is the mode I prefer to adopt.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. The method of ornamenting fabrics which consists in producing a floral
design thereon by embroidering or crewelling the stems, leaves and calyxes and
manipulating the corollae or petals in another and a different fabric substantially
as described.
2. A fabric ornamented with a floral design the stem, leaves and calyxes of
which are embroidered or crewelled thereon and the corollae or petals of which
are formed of another and a different fabric manipulated to the required shape
and contour and fastened in position thereon substantially as described.
3. The improvement in the ornamenting of fabrics by floral designs produced
substantially in the manner and for the purpose described.
