Bookmarks
The one on the left I made some 40 years ago. It was an Eva Rosenstrand design.
The one on the right I made today, by machine. What gives the game away is the machine stitch I used to secure the fringe. The design stitched in 13 minutes, much faster than the handmade one.
I uploaded the design in DBC, see link.

wow! looks perfect. Is that a ribbon you stitched that out on? It looks like it is made from yarn.

No it is dress-weight linnen. I had a 4" strip left, stitch the design in the centre and then seamed and turned, pressed, stitched the two lines to secure the material before ripping away threads to get a nice fringe.
