Description and Details
Immerse yourself in historic French costume and folk design with Sajou Red Album No. 913. This accordion fold cross stitch album includes eight fold out pattern charts showing charming characters in regional dress from across France. Each chart captures the distinctive silhouettes, headwear, and decorative details that make French provincial costumes such a beloved subject for heritage stitchers.
Album 913 is part of Sajou’s red series, a set of 15 printed pattern albums that faithfully reproduce original Maison Sajou publications. These albums are treasured for their crisp chart printing, balanced motifs, and authentic nineteenth century styling. The sizes of the designs vary depending on the theme, giving you flexibility for framed miniatures, sampler panels, keepsake boxes, or coordinated sets across a sewing room.
Sajou was founded in 1828 by Jacques Simon Sajou and became famous for exquisite haberdashery and pattern design for embroidery, tapestry, lace, crochet, and weaving. The brand was revived in 2005 by collector Frederique Crestin Billet, who ensured the old albums were reproduced with the same respect for craft and history. Owning a Sajou album is not just buying a pattern, it is adding a small piece of French needlework heritage to your collection.

Whether you stitch for relaxation, love costume history, or are building a full set of Sajou colour series albums, Red Album 913 offers timeless motifs with strong collector value. It also makes a thoughtful gift for serious cross stitchers who appreciate traditional European design and premium printed charts.
