Made in France: Linen and Thread: Creating Homewares Embellished with Embroidery and Ribbon - Softcover

Be inspired by the earthy texture and elegant shades of linen and a stash of irresistible ribbons. Linen and Thread shows you how to use this versatile fabric to create and embellish beautiful accessories for the home. Follow the simple instructions to sew cushions, table linen, aprons, blankets or bags, and embroider your homewares with the charming motifs provided. All you need for a perfect finish is an exquisite length of rick rack or braid. Key points: each project is illustrated with a full page photograph, cross-stitch grid and instructional diagrams; simple cross-stitch motifs can be used both on the book's projects and to embellish any home accessories; easy patterns and stitches make every project accessible to complete beginners.
