My 13, 4, 12, 9, is that part of a quantity as, when multiplied into itself a certain number of times, produces the quantity. My 8, 11, 5, 15, 7, is a truth employed in demonstrating a theorem, or solving a problem. My 9, 10, 14, 4, 13, 11, 5, is also a truth in Geometry made evident by demonstration. My 6, 3, 11, 13, 9, 2, 7, is that property in Mechanics relating to the continuance of a body either in rest or motion. My 1, 7, 13, 13, 7, is a long measure for cloth in Spain and Portugal. My 13, 7, 9, 2, 12, is the relation one quantity bears to another in respect to magnitude. My 7, 13, 14, 7, in Geometry, is the superficial contents of any figure.

I might have spent my lunch break tracking down the Victorian dog jacket pattern and may or may not be seriously considering trying to make one for my cat Mickey (no promises that Raspberry would allow me to fasten a jacket on her without tearing me to shreds, unfortunately).

Also, this magazine is really fascinating, and some of these fashion plates are gorgeous.

Including a link to the archived magazine. The dog jacket is on page 431 (as scanned).

Continuing my Brambly Hedge year, I decided I *had* to make plushie mice, and I found a free, Victorian era pattern I couldn’t resist. But after a little dive into the free pattern, I found the backstory for this lil mouse, or rather the magazine it came from, was worth talking about.
