A beautiful Sajou cross stitch kit to embroider a small decorative pot with a violet Mignonnette design — inspired by the delicate small-repeat printed fabrics made at the Oberkampf Manufactory in Jouy. These tiny repeating patterns, designed for clothing, were known as mignonnettes — literally ‘cute little things’ — and they have a quiet, rhythmic charm that translates beautifully into counted cross stitch.
The motif is worked over two threads of sand 32-count linen using two strands of Retors du Nord, making it a wonderfully approachable project for beginners whilst being no less pleasing for more experienced stitchers. Once complete, the embroidered disc is mounted into the lid of the round presentation box to create a finished pot that is as useful as it is decorative.
The finished pot measures 4.2 cm high and 7.3 cm in diameter.
The kit includes:
A Sajou pattern chart for the Mignonnette design
A 14 cm square of sand 32-count Sajou linen
Retors du Nord embroidery thread in the design colours
A round box with metal base and lid, and cardboard disc for mounting
You will find the Red and Blue Mignonnette versions, the Yellow Indienne pot, the Marie Antoinette pot, and other Sajou cross stitch kits in my shop.
