Customer testimonial - “I'm very pleased with the Bargello bookmark kit, and I have found it easy to sew.”
What is Bargello Stitch?
Bargello is a colourful form of needlework traditionally created using repeated straight stitches to build striking geometric patterns.
By changing the position and colour of the stitches, beautiful zigzags, waves and repeating designs begin to emerge.
This bookmark project is a lovely introduction to the technique, using plastic canvas to make the stitches easy to see and follow while you learn the basic pattern.
