Description

Shaped to resemble a basket of pretty flowers, this charmingly dainty stitching étui contains handy needle pages and a tiny pair of scissors, and is the perfect size to slip into your work basket.

A variety of darning patterns are used to fill the outer side of the woven basket and Smyrna stitch, woven spider web and loop stitch are used to work the variegated pink blossoms.

Hand-dyed silk satin ribbons tie the panels together and form the handle of the basket.
