Ma Valise

Ma Valise de Broderie is a celebration of classic needlework with a distinctly French feel. What started as a special anniversary project is now available as a beautifully curated pattern book.

This book contains all embroidery charts from the original five-part Ma Valise de Broderie series, which was previously released as a club project. Together, these designs form a complete and harmonious embroidery set, inspired by a French sewing suitcase filled with small, elegant accessories.

Inside the book you will find patterns for the embroidered suitcase lid, as well as several smaller projects such as a pincushion, scissor fob and other coordinating accessories. Each design can be stitched on its own, yet all pieces are meant to complement each other as a cohesive whole.

What this book includes:

• All charts from the complete Ma Valise de Broderie series
• Timeless, classic embroidery designs with French charm
• Ideal for stitchers who enjoy refined, small-scale projects
• Patterns that work individually or as a complete set

This book contains patterns only. Fabrics, threads, finishing materials and the suitcase itself are not included. The designs were originally created for a suitcase measuring approximately 25 x 18 cm. If you use a different size suitcase or fabric, some adjustments to the patterns may be necessary.

Ma Valise de Broderie is perfect for lovers of traditional embroidery, French-inspired details and projects with a story — made to be enjoyed stitch by stitch.

Materials:

• 32ct thread linen, 25 x 140 cm
