Maison
Sajou was founded in 1828 by Jacques-Simon Sajou and dominated the
French embroidery market for years. The design of
both packaging and goods was exquisitely detailed and elaborate,
representing the best of French craftsmanship. Some years ago, many of
the famed materials, from threads and ribbons to linens and silks, were
brought back into production for today’s stitchers.
The Maison Sajou Sewing Book
celebrates this resurgence of these fine materials.

My Thoughts
Once the weather warms up each summer, we enjoy loading up the car and taking the kids to the coast for a day trip. It would be grand to have a new beach tote like the Summer Tote Bag with the breezy, seaside theme from the Maison Sajou Sewing Book. This tote is made from striped fabric and features nautical motifs of a red, white and black light house, a sailboat, anchor and other maritime designs.
