This is a lovely book filled with lovely patterns from the Regency era which ran, more or less, from 1795 to 1835. This is the setting of the works of Jane Austen, inventor of the novel as we know it. Wonderful books! And this book is a wonderful addition to any embroidery enthusiasts or Austen aficionados library. The book itself is paperback yet surprisingly well-made, with excellent paper and printing throughout. There is an introduction to the era and embroidery of the period, with some helps for getting started for the novice. The explanation of silks was eye-opening for me. There are many color photos throughout. Lovely! Well-drawn illustrations are found alongside helpful step-by-step instructions for each of the many projects, in a well-designed layout. Happily, the book often returns to Austen, explaining the whats, hows, and whys of fashion, fabrics, and clothing, which are mentioned in each Austen book. The designs within are wonderful. Detailed without getting fussy. I love how they balance their elegance while being so very pretty. The measured use of negative space definitely appeals to the modern eye. Many projects offer several variations, such as patterns for different types of flowers, so there are far more than 15 projects within.

A delight

“Jane Austen Embroidery” by Jennie Batchelor and Alison Larkin Is exactly what a craft-enthusiast Jane fan would want it to be! It is packed with interesting Jane facts, historical notes and beautiful embroidery patterns. I so enjoyed the research put into the book both in finding the patterns and in understanding their context. In our world of modern conveniences, the historical aspects clarify why needlework was abridged to be called just “work”. It was not a hobby but a necessity. Jane is reported to have been particularly skilled in this area of life and her personality has been stitched throughout. The embroidery patterns are whole projects rather than just the attractive elements and including sewing and make-up as well as embroidery. Each pattern has been carefully chosen, related to Jane, and modernised to make it relevant to today, I appreciated all the guidance included for the less knowledgeable reader – a.k.a. Me – about fabrics and threads as well as how to sew each stitch. It is detailed with great photos and lots of tips! The COVID-19 pandemic has limited my ability to access the various resources to put into practice what I have learnt but I look forward to doing so in the future. If you love Jane Austen and embroidery, this is one to get! It is five out of five on the enJOYment scale and highly recommended.
