With Bold Needle and Thread Adventures in Vintage Needlecraft

With Bold Needle and Thread Adventures in Vintage Needlecraft by Rosemary McLeod, published by Random House New Zealand in 2013.

A magnificent vintage craft and needlework book, coupled with social history. Craft of all sorts is having a strong revival and there is no more expert writer and designer than the talented Rosemary McLeod. A longtime avid collector, maker, exhibition curator, craft historian and writer, her glorious new book is a treasure trove for the serious embroiderer, felter, sewer and knitter. McLeod takes vintage patterns and renders them with a modern twist. The 47 projects range from bags to gloves, cushions to tea cosies covers, wrapped up with memoir, social history, fascinating facts, tips and hints. A Listener 'Top 100' book of 2013.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves fashion and style.
