Simple DIY: Antique Cross Stitch Pattern For Modern Denim
"Want your clothes look instantly trendy? Learn how to add embroidery to a pair of jeans, denim skirt, office dress or a blazer! I recently came across a small collection of Hertz and Wegener embroidery patterns presented by the New Zealand Museum. These realist style embroidery patterns were designed for Berlin wool work and date back to first half of 1800s. Cross stitch is really easy-to-master embroidery technique. I chose a fragment from Torch With Roses embroidery pattern from around 1820s. The beautiful rose landed on a shirt dress collar. I got LOTS of complements :) and happy to share with you"
