Description
‘Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern; it will come out a rose by and by. Life is like that – one stitch at a time taken patiently and the pattern will come out all right like the embroidery’, Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809–94)
A delightful counted cross stitch kit from Scotland to make an embroidered bookmark with a decorative tassel. Decorated with fun sewing sundry motifs - including a sewing machine, dressmaker’s mannequin, measuring tape, pins and cotton reels – the colourful design recalls the ‘Make Do and Mend’ spirit which persisted in Britain long after the end of the Second World War. Clothes rationing ended in 1949 but with new clothing still scarce, and expensive, many fashion-conscious Britons sewed their own; a trend made easier by the growth of improved dressmaking patterns, including the popular ‘Jiffy’ sewing patterns launched by Simplicity in the 1950s. A fun design to mark favourite project books and inspire your next creation.
