Floral Fancies Embroidery Kits

Oh la la! For the last few weeks I’ve been having a wonderful time in the Flea Market collecting beautiful vintage floral fabrics. Bien sûr, I couldn’t resist the Olivados printed cottons while I was in the South of France in May! After I laundered and ironed all the textile treasures, I brought them in to Nathalie in Au Ver à Soie and we had lots of fun selecting the spun silk Soie d’Alger threads and vintage silk ribbons for you to embroider and embellish the printed fabrics.

These textile treasures are inspired by the Floral Fancies embroidery course. You will use the beautiful motifs printed on the vintage fabrics as your embroidery design and enjoy the pleasures of selecting your stitches using your A Brief Dictionary of Stitches sampler. You’ll just love the gorgeous French printed fabrics, the softest spun silk threads and the most delicate pure silk ribbons. Magnifique!

Tell me More?

These bundles of treasure include a beautiful printed French cotton fabric, 6 skeins of Au Ver à Soie spun silk Soie d’Alger embroidery threads (5 metres each) and vintage Au Ver à Soie silk ribbon (3 metres). Each precious item tells a story of French savoir-faire and beauty. Fantastique!

I’m hoping to inspire your creativity, so if you’re excited to continue your embroidered adventures you can add Floral Fancies Threads and Ribbons to your order! You will receive an additional 6 skeins of Soie d’Alger spun silk threads and 3 more metres of vintage Soie d’Alger pure silk ribbon. You can choose your additional colourway from the selection; Treasured Chintz, Vintage Roses, Pretty Posies, Provençal Paisley, Golden Blooms, Lilacs & Roses, Toile du Jouy, Tissus Indiennes, Petit Trianon. Remember, there are no Embroidery Police so you can mix your colourways!

I’ve include a little history about each textile in the descriptions below and I hope you enjoy the exquisite pleasure of embroidering and embellishing the pretty fabric with your gorgeous stitches.
