Easy Bargello
is a collection of 25 homeware and gift projects to make which revive the traditional needle point technique of Bargello.
Bargello is an
easy craft to master
as it comprises
just one simple straight stitch
. Striking patterns form by repeating the stitch in different colors and arrangements. It is not only methodical and mindful but creative too as,
once the basics are understood
, the reader will be able to
design their own patterns.
The book features a short history of this traditional technique, followed by an exploration of the different fabrics and materials used and
explains everything a beginner needs to get started
on their first project. Projects range from beginner and intermediate through to advanced levels. Each pattern
features step-by-step instructions
and modern life-style
photography beautifully illustrates
the construction of each piece.  This is an ideal collection to
utilize a crafter’s thread stash
and
experiment with different color combinations.
Projects include: hoop, purse, wall hanging, greeting’s card, pillow, plastic canvas plant pot cover.
