[From front jacket flap] For many years a byword for pretty and refined French taste, the esteemed haberdashery Maison Sajou supplies the most discerning home sewers with their linens, embroidery silks, and patterns, as well as a mouthwatering selection of sewing equipment, from embroidery scissors to needles, thimbles, and thread cards. The Maison Sajou Sewing Book brings that sophisticated sensibility to twenty beautiful projects. Bedlinen, tablecloths, cushions, and smaller but equally gorgeous accessories, such as book covers and lavender hearts, all acquire French style with simple but lovely embroidery, neatly stitched monograms, and some all-but-forgotten (but easily learned) techniques, such as drawn threadwork.
