19th Century Embroidery Techniques

By Gail Marsh
When embroidery shifted out of the industrial sector and turned into a hobby in the 19th century, it became a craft all its own. Gail Marsh once again provides a thoroughly researched and expertly illustrated guide to embroidery of the 19th century. Some extant items detailed in this stunning book include a gentleman's black velvet waistcoat with stunning chenille threads, a footstool with a plush cover, a girl's white dress with a charming heart motif on the flounce, and more.
