Pattern for Spats

Emery Herrett

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a pattern for sewing gaiters. The drawing displays a detailed pattern used to cut and sew a pair of gaiters. Various labeled pieces (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) are arranged on the page, each showing shapes and lines indicating seams, overlaps, or button placements. Annotations provide instructions on how each piece should be connected, such as B showing overlap for buttoning, and C covering the instep and being secured at specific points. Dotted lines illustrate placement for reinforcements. There is a scale in the upper right corner showing "1/4", providing reference for the dimensions used in the pattern.
