P188 The Dressmaker's Corner - Cross Stitch Kit

A sunlit sewing corner with a vintage black treadle sewing machine on a wooden table, set in front of a large window that looks out onto golden autumn trees with sunbeams streaming through. A dressmaker's mannequin on a turned wooden stand, a basket of rolled fabrics, a stack of books, a vase of autumn leaves and berries, spools of thread, a pincushion, sheer curtains, bookshelves and framed pictures complete a warm, nostalgic interior, finished with softly irregular edges.

With 66 colours and 8 blends, this design asks for steady colour management, especially in the window, where the sunlight fades through subtle gradations of cream, yellow and gold into the autumn trees. The wood grain, curtain folds and wrought-iron treadle base add further detail, with backstitching used throughout to define outlines. The irregular edges leave the corners open, but the central scene is fully stitched. Recommended for experienced stitchers.
