Ma Valise

Ma Valise de Broderie is a celebration of classic needlework with a distinctly French feel. What started as a special anniversary project is now available as a beautifully curated pattern book. This book contains all embroidery charts from the original five-part Ma Valise de Broderie series, which was previously released as a club project. Together, these designs form a complete and harmonious embroidery set, inspired by a French sewing suitcase filled with small, elegant accessories. Inside the book you will find patterns for the embroidered suitcase lid, as well as several smaller projects such as a pincushion, scissor fob and other coordinating accessories. Each design can be stitched on its own, yet all pieces are meant to complement each other as a cohesive whole. What this book includes: All charts from the complete Ma Valise de Broderie series Timeless, classic embroidery designs with French charm Ideal for stitchers who enjoy refined, small-scale projects Patterns that work individually or as a complete set This book contains patterns only. Fabrics, threads, finishing materials and the suitcase itself are not included. The designs were originally created for a suitcase measuring approximately 25 x 18 cm. If you use a different size suitcase or fabric, some adjustments to the patterns may be necessary. Ma Valise de Broderie is perfect for lovers of traditional embroidery, French-inspired details and projects with a story — made to be enjoyed stitch by stitch.
