Embroidery Guide with Historical Examples Digital Download

Discover the beauty of historical embroidery with the Botanical Embroidery Pattern & Stitch Workbook from Made to Learn.

This printable workbook combines practical embroidery guidance with genuine public-domain illustrations from Thérèse de Dillmont’s classic Encyclopedia of Needlework. Rather than relying on modern clip art, the collection preserves the detail and character of authentic 19th-century needlework engravings.

Inside the 12-page workbook, you’ll find:

• Six historically documented embroidery stitches with original instructional illustrations
• Five detailed historical embroidery designs
• A Victorian flower garland
• An ecclesiastical pomegranate motif
• An ornamental monogram
• A soutache wildflower spray
• A Roumanian floral border
• Suggested stitches and project ideas for every design
• Fabric-transfer methods and printing guidance
• Supply and hooping checklists
• A stitch-practice page
• A project-planning worksheet with space for colors, stitches, and sketches

Use the designs for hoop art, garment embellishment, cushions, table linens, bags, journal covers, keepsakes, and other hand-stitched projects. Patterns can be printed at their original size or enlarged using your printer settings.

This workbook is suitable for adventurous beginners and experienced stitchers who appreciate traditional needlework, vintage design, and creative experimentation.
