Embroidery had an enormous resurgence due to a number of technique based publications being produced on the subject. Subsequently Stumpwork was introduced onto the Apprenticeship scheme and Certificate course. It continues to be a popular subject at the RSN on courses of all levels.
A number of traditional motifs from the RSN Collection have been used to decorate this portable sewing kit or a ‘hussif’ as they were known in the 18th century.
This kit contains everything you need to complete the kit including instruction booklet.
Stitches include: Blanket Stitch, Block Shading, Bullion Knots, Chain Stitch, Coral Stitch, Fly Stitch, French Knots, Laid Work, Outline Stitch, Raised Stem Band Stitch, Seeding, Trellis and many more.
