Order soon. Shipping May 2025. Make our linen yours with traditional French embroidery patterns. Each of our linen products can be customised with cross-stitch designs that have decorated homes in France for generations. Or you can just experiment for other projects. When linen was used regularly for workwear, it was often made at home, and folks embroidered their initials to distinguish what belonged to whom. These days, the embroidery can get fancy, or it can stay plain. You pick!
We provide everything you need: linen scraps for practice, quality 'floss' (thread) - always in red to keep with tradition, a couple of proper needles, and your choice of pattern—from simple monograms to intricate borders and traditional motifs that have graced French households for centuries.
No experience needed. These patterns use simple cross-stitch techniques that anyone can master. Add initials, a date, or a full decorative border to transform your practical linen into a personal heirloom that tells your story while honouring the textile traditions of Normandy.
Choose from our library of authentic patterns when ordering your apron or other linen items.
