Blackwork Etui Box Instructions
Blackwork Etui Box Instructions
$17.89 USD
The Blackwork Etui Box can be worked by any level of stitcher. For beginners I suggest working the patterns on 16 count Aida fabric and experienced stitchers can work the patterns on 32 count Belfast linen fabric.
There are set blackwork patterns for certain panels of the boxes, and the instruction booklet has step-by-step numbered diagrams and instructions to guide you through the blackwork patterns. Other panels of the box are covered with cotton fabric of your own choice.
There are instructions on how to construct the box once the stitching is complete.
