Made in France: Linen and Thread

Author – Monique Lyonnet

Author and Parisian haberdasher, Monique Lyonnet, shares a variety of simple yet effective ideas with which to beautify everyday objects, such as aprons, tea towels and other useful items for the home. There are over 30 projects on offer in this title, all displaying a clean, elegant feel. Whilst homewares dominate, there are also many appealing ideas for beautiful gifts.

Instructions are clear and concise, and generally easy to follow for novice embroiderers. There are helpful diagrams and effective cross stitch graphs, as well as a glossary and useful hints and tips.

The overall beauty of this book lies in the organic aesthetic reflected in all of the featured items, attained through the use of versatile, natural linen and a restrained thread colour palette. All featured projects are beautifully photographed and effectively presented, inspiring novice and experienced needle workers alike.
