Look what i found...
The other day I was looking for something at the back of our store room and came across a Sainsbury’s bag full of goodies…I found some of my mums old sewing patterns and some pages from an embroidery book from Pakistan, i was like a kid in a sweet shop!!
This ones from 1992, i like the pictures
This ones from 1989, i was only three years old!
For some reason this next one looks the oldest, but it's actually the newest, 1996
It's got a bag patteren in it might try out...
Some pics from the embroidery book:
There was quite a few more pages, and some of the designs were really nice, this will definitly be a reference for future embroidery projects
