Pattern by Janet Stauffacher - Learn the three-dimensional beading and construction techniques used in the lavishly bead-embroidered and fringed whimseys and cushions that were so popular during the Victorian era. Then, begin making your own small whimsey with a vintage look. The design included is a bird holding several branches of leaves in it's beak, not the shoe pictured on the cover. This whimsical design is taken from the side of one of my antique pieces. The pattern does contain the instructions to embroider all of the elements seen in the shoe and the other examples in the pattern. Make your whimsey any shape you like--with or without fringe.
