Italian Renaissance Sewing Box
[SCHGIUirs #13649]
• Accesories/Decorative • Pincushions • Sewing Boxes •
This box has an old-fashioned look because it is a reminder of late Renaissance times of my town. Massa, a little town in Tuscany, near the sea coast and surrounded by wonderful marble mountains, was once called "Massa Picta" which in Latin means "Painted Massa". Many houses of my town were colorfully painted with bright reds, pinks or deep yellow sand or Sienna colors, making a strong contrast with the white marble of doorsteps, windowpanes and floors.
My design has been inspired by a paint, still visible nowadays, on the façade of a house of my town. The top is stitched with Assisi stitch, characterized by stylized flowers in Holbein Stitch or Backstitch and figures created by void spaces within a background worked in cross stitch.
Chart pack includes designs charts and instructions for main box sections (top, lid band, wall band, bottom).
Finishing Instructions for the assembly of this box and sewing accessories are not included in the chart pack.
