About the Author

This book includes lots of lovely sewing and craft motifs, vintage style hats, clothes and shoes, beautifully decorated fans and retro style film, cinema and theatre motifs. For animal lovers there are cute little Scottie dogs, Dachshunds and a retro style Poodle. And for those of you who love to stitch floral designs, Susan includes some floral garlands, beautiful old-fashioned roses, a Parisian style flower shop and a ‘shabby chic’ bicycle overflowing with flowers. This book shows Susan’s love of color and detail, as the designs are beautifully patterned and shaded.

The motifs can be used to decorate clothing, tea towels, cushions, aprons and little bags and purses. For something simpler you can make little greetings cards to give to your loved ones. Or frame a stitched motif to make into a sweet little picture!
