Punto Croce nuove idee per la casa, i bambini, i regali

Book that I bought almost 20 years ago, in a library of Lake Maggiore, in Turin because I could not find it (I was already demanding then, and Casa Cenina was not there yet to fulfill all my wishes ...). It 'a thick manual, with very detailed explanations with regard to the technique of cross-stitching and the materials to use. The schemes are many, simple or a little 'more elaborate: for children, floral, Greek, pillows, borders for the kitchen and even a nativity scene with embroidered and padded characters, a desktop photo-holder made with Aida embroidered and padded, with instructions for building it, cover-chair embroidered cloth to sew yourself. The peculiarity of this book to provide also the precious "alternatives" to the work presented: for example, for a square panel, embroidered with flowers, presented as suitable for manufacturing a pillow, the alternative is then suggested, that is, the ' idea to apply them (with a bit 'of glue and refining them with wooden slats to close the edges), the doors of an old cabinet; a border with Greek presented as reggi-tent has the alternative of turning into decorative band range for a lamp, or to sew as a border to renew all of the white curtains, or these borders can also become ... the tape that wraps a package gift, the embroidery render very valuable, and then also the former bow as a normal tape gift (and this idea I like very much, because the edges in etamine for sale the tape already risulter finished, perhaps with a golden scallop, or with the frame of a color to match the paper parcel, on which you can embroider all over, and once untied the parcel, who receives potr use it in any other way). At the bottom of the book all the schemes, black and white, with some alphabets. The books of Fabbri Editori are made very well, beautiful pictures of the work, detailed explanations. Cinzia.
