This is a lovely collection of over 30 authentic designs with each pattern abstracted from Victorian embroidery. Stitches and techniques are given with drawings and for each project, there is a large-scale counted thread chart in color or a full-sized race-off pattern.
If you’re a vintage lover, you’ll find gorgeous ideas for your next projects. It surely excelled all my expectations!

Not a lot is charted. It all looks lovely. Not sure I could really pull off out of the book though.
