Free Puppy Patterns # 3 - Vintage 1940's Embroidery Designs

It has been quite awhile since I posted a free vintage embroidery pattern.  This is the third in a series of six.

 I really love vintage sewing patterns, especially those for children.   I think this third Playful Pup motif would look adorable if the pups holding their umbrella were embroidered on the collar of this little girl's coat.   (It would look better to leave off the faucet, which I suppose was meant to be used on a towel.) 
Simplicity 6949
Don't you just love the little girl's hat?  It reminds me of Canterbury Bell flowers or Lily of the Valley.

 Below is the embroidery pattern.  Just click to enlarge and then copy and paste.

 Paulette (The Way I Sew It) just asked me a good question about how to turn this into an embroidery transfer.  This was something I wondered about too.  You could use a light box or window and trace it onto your fabric. In my very first embroidery post I talked about a product I had found called Transfer-eze.  It's for making a transfer sheet using your printer:

    I had a coat similar to this when I was young. How fun to see it again. Didn't have this hat, though.

    That is adorable! I have a bulging envelope full of these kinds of vintage embroidery transfers from my mom and have wondered what to do with them. I don't embroider much but you've got me thinking I should get back to it. Now I ask a "dumb" question: The old designs were those you could iron on. How do you like to transfer these? Do you put it on a lightbox or window and put the fabric over to trace? Or is there a kind of tracing paper or some other kind of method you like to use?
