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 decorated with shisha mirror embroidery. The front cover features three large daisy flowers and a stylised 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 features a single daisy in the middle and a simpler border.

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

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 fine shisha mirrors are sourced directly from India.

The detailed instructions and diagrams will teach you the basic shisha stitch technique used to attach the mirrors and guide you step by step through the project.

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

I recently travelled to India for the first time and was awed by the amazing embroidery I saw. I think most of us associate India with bright colours, but I discovered and fell in love with the older, more subtle embroideries I saw. The daisy design for DEW DROP DAISY was inspired by a beautiful wall hanging I came across in a small street shop, in a tiny village off the beaten tourist track.

*** Intermediate-Beginner ***

DEW DROP DAISY is designed as an introduction to shisha, or mirror embroidery. The embroidery is stitched using mostly basic embroidery stitches. The additional stitch guide included in the kit provides step-by-step instructions for the basic shisha stitch technique, along with diagrams of all the stitches used in the project.
