Groovy 70's Fashion Embroidery!

Since it's origin, 5,000 years B.C., embroidery has given mankind a medium for the expression of his cultural heritage, economic struggles and triumphs and personal and collective joys, frustrations, devotions, hopes and dreams. It is an artform which has come a long way from its early disciplined patterns. Today, as in the past, embroidery is reflecting our reverence for cultural pasts and new inspirations in the expressions of the free form and abstract works. In this book, we present to you a wide variety of complete patterns which reflect many moods and heritages. You will find that all the projects are quick to do and most require only the simplest of stitches. Any of the designs may be used individually or on different types of clothing than these pictured here.
