About North African Craft Treasures

North African Craft Treasures is our artisanal embroidery pick, and it is a pick rather than a default — we looked at the shelf twice before leaving it on. Only 6 people have saved it so far, so this is our pick rather than the crowd's. Unreviewed so far — read that as untested rather than as a verdict.

Folk motifs carry meaning where they come from. If a design is going on a gift, a line about the pattern's origin is worth more than another colour. Our own plan for it is beautiful motif, because that is where this kind of pattern does the least arguing with you. One thing we always do and you should too: open the preview full size. A thumbnail hides exactly the detail that decides whether artisanal embroidery is really what you are getting.

It answers to african, colorful zakhrapha motifs, contemporary design and cultural embroidery, and that spread of wording is worth noting: a file tagged this consistently usually behaves the way the preview suggests. The neighbouring searches are around-the-world — worth a look if this particular pattern is close but not quite it. We filed it under Around the World Embroidery Designs for the obvious reason, and the shelf is small enough to read end to end.

How to use this pattern

  1. Download the files from Creative Fabrica and unzip them into one folder.
  2. Print the pattern sheets at 100% — no scaling, no «fit to page» — and check the test square with a ruler before you cut anything.
  3. Tape the sheets together on the printed match marks, then cut the pieces out and keep the instruction sheet next to your machine.
  4. Sew a quick version in cheap fabric first if the shape is new to you; the second one is always the one you keep.
