Work & Play, Redwork Through the Day

Designs include: gardening, ironing, sewing, wash a dish, along came a spider, fishing, jumping rope, driving a pedal car on the sidewalk, rocking baby, and roller skating. Each fun design uses one or two easy embroidery stitches. The complete instructions show you how to enlarge or reduce the designs, stitch the designs on cotton fabric, then tea or coffee dye the completed piece for an authentic folk-art look. Please note that the designs in this book are NOT iron-on patterns and must be transferred to your fabric using a light table or sunny window with a pencil or water-soluble pen.
