Jane Austen was as skilful with a needle as she was with a pen. This unique book from Jennie Batchelor and Alison Larkin showcases recently-discovered 18th-century embroidery patterns expertly repurposed into 15 exciting modern stitching projects. The patterns and projects are brought to life with glimpses into the world of Regency women and their domestic lives by lively historical features, quotes from Jane Austen’s letters and novels, enchanting illustrations and inspirational project photography.
The book opens with an illustrated introduction on historical embroidery. Next comes the materials and methods section, clearly explaining the key stitches, as well as providing information on threads, fabrics and frames. The practical section includes 15 projects for modern items, with patterns for different skill levels.

Brexit and Taxes
Thanks to our nation's ill-advised exit from the European Union, we have had to change how we sell to our international customers.
International customers will not be charged UK VAT (20%) on our products. When your parcel arrives in your home country, you will be charged VAT at your local rate (and there may be a handling fee.) This will be determined by the customs form that will be attached to your parcel. Please note, all added taxes and fees are your responsibility to pay.
Sorry, we did not vote for this.
