Inspiring embroidery
Saturday, October 30, 2010
This is the bodice of a little Bonpoint dress I bought for Adelaide in Paris earlier this year.
I think she likes it - there are her eager little hands making a grab for it.
I love the simplicity of this dress - the striking contrast of colours, and the straightforward cut of the dress.
I'm off to pull out my embroidery pattern books. I think I might spend this long weekend with embroidery hoop in hand.
Such a lovely dress with gorgeous embroidery, Kristine! Hope you get the chance to do some embroidery tonight, I wish I could. I hope you are having a lovely weekend ~Tina

On another French note, have you purchased anything lately on line from Cyrillus. If so, would love to see some photos on your blog. I purchased a few things in their sale, such lovely clothes!!!!
