Chart: La mercerie, Création Point de Croix

Like a stroll through a charming haberdashery of yesteryear, this delightful cross-stitch composition brings together all the essential treasures for sewing and embroidery enthusiasts. Colorful spools, delicate ribbons, antique buttons, refined lace, pins, trims, and sewing accessories create a picture full of poetry and nostalgia.

The soft shades of old red, powder blue, and pearl grey are reminiscent of old neighborhood shops where threads, fabrics, and small precious objects were neatly displayed. Every detail evokes the delicate world of needlework, the pleasure of creating, and the timeless elegance of traditional haberdasheries.

The design was embroidered on white Aida fabric 5.5 stitches/cm.
To be embroidered on Aida fabric 5.5 or 7 stitches/cm, or on linen fabric 11 threads/cm. To preserve all the delicacy and retro charm of the composition, choose a white or light ecru fabric that will subtly enhance the powdery tones and refined small details of the embroidery.

The charts are printed with symbols and colors (Ref: DMC) on 6 pages.
