  • $13.50


Fabulous heart-shaped necessaire with pretty surface embroidery.

Inspirations Studios describe this project: 

"A palette of soft greens and berry pinks plus a bounty of exquisite details make this sewing necessaire an essential for every needleworker.

When opened the necessaire contains pockets for essentials plus a pincushion, needle pages and thread rings and it closes with a Dorset button and strawberry cord.

The upper edge of each heart is finished with a beaded edge and a tassel of strawberry emery, pinwheel and thimble holder swings from the lower tips."

 This booklet includes complete instructions and full size pattern. 19 pages, full color illustrations and a list of required supplies are all included. The project uses  a variety of solid and variegated colors stranded cottons from DMC, Cottage Garden Threads, and silks from Dinky Dyes, Gloriana, Gumnut Yarns Stars, Gutermann silk, Madeira stranded silk, YLI silk, Miyuki, Mill Hill, Toho, and Matsuno,, and Cloisonne beads.  You can see all the beads and threads in close up photos and, I am sure, can substitute what is hard to find with what you have. I do. 

Close up photo is provided to see stitches in detail. Special techniques and colorwork are shown step by step in photos with explanations and directions. The entire work order is described step by step in details.

Perfect for medium-level to experienced stitchers.
