Special designs, as described here, are those items that have illustrations and directions to complete them, but don’t fit into the “Stitches” or “Crafts” category. This includes complete instructions on how to embroider certain flowers or fruit, as well as make roses with braiding/laces.
All of these designs are original Victorian instructions, and therefore, may use items that are not readily available or unknown to most of today’s embroiderers and crafters. I will include any suggestions of materials that can be used in place of some of the lesser known materials if I have the information.
Any feedback or information that you think is relevant or will help other Victorian lovers with their projects is certainly welcome! Just
contact me
and I’ll pass on the information to everyone.
