Preface

For several years, I taught introductory blackwork embroidery at the "Schole of Needleworke" at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire, and discovered that I much prefer designing embroidery to actually working it. Between 1985 and 1990, I self-publishedthree booklets of hand-drawn embroidery designs for costume under the series title Elizabethan Blackwork. This archive contains the "best of" those booklets,with much cleaner patterns, plus many new designs.

A Note on Authenticity: These patterns are inspired by historical needlework of sixteenth and seventeenth century England, but they are all original designs.

Machine embroidery: While I want to encourage handwork, I understand that many costumers aremore interested in clothing construction than embellishment. I'm delightedto let you know that you can download digitized versions of several of mypatterns free fromThredworks - check them out athttp://thredworks.com/blakwrk.htm andhttp://thredworks.com/bw2001.htm.
