Samplers, embroidery cloths for practice, have been made in Europe for a long time. This book introduces, in particular, the red thread samplers that girls embroidered to learn needlework, which were popular in the 19th century. In addition, we will show you how girls worked on sewing, mainly with examples from France, with abundant illustrations and materials. Also, we have extracted and published children's embroidery patterns from 19th-century French handicraft newspapers, which are like the dreams of the girls who lived at that time taking shape. Furthermore, the author adds nostalgic original patterns to the antique patterns she has arranged, and expresses the world of children with embroidery and cartonnage.
