Sewing Machine - Flag - Freedom Fabric 1909 Tissue Paper

Colourized photo from 1909 Original Title: Making flags, Brooklyn Navy Yard Photographer: Bain News Location: 41 Flushing Ave, Brooklyn, NY This is the flag making department in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Though they are mostly known for making ships and weapons, they also made American flags in all sizes. As you can see there is no mass production, just ladies behind a sewing machine. It's hard to tell if they are making the flag entirely themselves, or if each person has their own job. I would imagine getting the stars on just right was tricky back then. You can tell this is a modern shop, there are no gas jets. They have electric lights, and converted treadles. The foot treadle seems to control the motor, though I don't know if it was variable speed or not. Interestingly only a few lights have bulbs in it, so I guess they only sew when its day light outside. Maybe the bulbs got in the way because they were so low? Also notice how each person has their own teacup. I can only assume that they had a few breaks and that is how they drank? And like a modern shop, the manager stands around and does nothing. They certainly created a variety of sizes though, from small to huge.

The application of this decoupage paper was very simple , applied with PVA glue on a plywood surface. The colour stayed true to paper before application . I used cling film to apply over ply wood , no wrinkles , very pleased with the result.

I knew this would be stunning but it's even better than I expected! Really happy with my design and chuffed I picked this one. Be prepared to wait though if you choose the slowest delivery, took 3 weeks to come, but arrived within stated timeframe. Perfect imagery, colour and print, so easy to use the offcuts for spare bits...I only planned on doing the two back panels of my tv unit but ended up doing three other gaps!
