Go girly with your next project, and turn your needle and thread to this whimsical, shabby-chic chart. With its array of delicate motifs, there's something that's so pleasing about this delightful design. And, if you're a stitcher who can't resist making for others, we highly recommend you treat yourself for once, and turn your needle and thread to this picture-perfect chart! It'll be a joy to recreate the scrapbook-style effect, by layering vintage-style items with butterflies and flowers. There's a charming sense that this assortment of beautiful treasures has been lovingly collected over the years, and then collated in the prettiest way, especially for you. Worked in a soft, pastel colour palette, you'll use whole cross stitches, backstitch and clever shading, to add depth and variety to this detailed piece. There are only a few fractional stitches, so this project is great for stitchers of all levels. Once you've finished, display in a simple wooden embroidery hoop and hang in pride of place on your wall!
