Beeton's Book of Needlework
Isabella Mary Beeton
Isabella Beeton organized the Victorian kitchen; this companion organizes the workbasket. Her needlework compendium describes and engraves every pattern and stitch with the exact materials required, covering tatting, embroidery, crochet and more in her signature systematic style. Hundreds of designs, each one accountable to the last yard of thread. Method applied to fancy-work, and it shows.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
