Mermaid Song - Pocket Fob Case Pinkeep - Embroidery and Cross Stitch Pattern - PDF Download

STITCHERS POCKET, SCISSORS FOB, SCISSORS CASE AND NEEDLESHELL!  A lovely Mermaid sings her siren song on this nautically inspired set of needlework smalls. The collection includes various different pieces. The gorgeous Mermaid Stitcher’s Pocket, with Hardanger flap is finished in the shape of a shell. An adorable Needlecase shaped like a miniature version of the Needlepocket, a matching Scissors Fob as well as a Mermaid Scissors Case with another Hardanger flap closure, complete the entire assembly. You’ll find some unique silver charms to add a nautical flavor to your stitching. This design is stitched with the colours of the ocean. The luscious overdyed silks and regular silks, the overdyed cottons, the sparkling metallic threads and beads are all specially picked to delight the eye. There is a wonderful bargello design that outlines the scallops of the pocket ‘shell’ shape, and you’ll find it in the needlecase as well. Bargello is easy and so much fun, and you’ll learn a lot about it in this design. The Hardanger flaps are counted slightly differently, and the silk ribbon ‘kelp’ is just so real..it practically swims off the linen! Be prepared to learn some new techniques, as well as stitch the easy Cross Stitched areas so you can relax and stitch without losing your concentration. I hope this collection captures your heart and that you use them with enjoyment, and perhaps bring them to many future stitching retreats. :) - Thea:)
