Broderie anglaise

Broderie anglaise is a delicate embroidery technique characterized by intricate, eyelet-style patterns created through embroidery and cutwork. It often features floral or geometric designs with small holes or eyelets, giving a lacy, airy appearance. Originating in England, this craft is commonly used on lightweight fabrics such as cotton or linen for making elegant garments, curtains, and decorative items. The process involves sewing around cut-out sections to reinforce the fabric edges and prevent fraying, resulting in a beautiful, textured finish that combines craftsmanship with a timeless, feminine aesthetic.
