Dew Drop Daisy

Shisha Mirror Embroidery - Needle Book Kit

The embroidery kit includes all materials needed to complete the needlebook.

The Needlebook measures 11cm (4 3/8”) square.

Shisha, or mirror work, is a style of embroidery in which fine, little mirrors are attached to fabric by a border of stitches.

Dew Drop Daisy is a pretty and practical needlebook, perfect for keeping your needles organised. The front and back are decorated with shisha mirrors and simple embroidery stitches.

The front cover features three large daisies and a floral border. Fine, little shisha mirrors are used to create the shiny highlights in the centre of the large daisies and around the border. The back of the needlebook has a single daisy in the middle and a simple border. The needlebook is made from pale sage-green linen-cotton fabric and lined with a pretty floral print cotton that matches the embroidery threads . The embroidery is stitched using perlé cotton in soft shades of pink, yellow, cream and light blue-grey and pink and sage-green wool felt is used for the needle pages.

The pattern could easily be adapted to make a small zipped pouch
