Book Description
Capture the romantic spirit of the Victorian era with delicate-looking silk ribbon gifts, clothing, and accessories. More than 40 projects are showcased in glorious full-color photographs, and every technique is clearly explained so that even novice crafters can make beautiful keepsakes. Transform a basic silk camisole into an exquisite piece of lingerie, or embellish a plain blazer with creeping vines of dainty ribbon flowers. Add magic to your dinner table with charming ribbon rose napkin holders. Record your most treasured thoughts in a journal covered in lace and ribbonwork. Indulge yourself or someone close to you with luxurious gifts like an opulent hand mirror, pretty sachets, a jewelry box adorned with a bouquet of ribbon flowers, or a lingerie bag almost too beautiful to keep in a drawer. A detailed general "how-to" chapter includes information on selecting ribbons and other tools, as well as illustrated instructions for embroidery stitches and for making a gardenful of ribbon flowers. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to make heirloom-quality treasures. 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 10.
