Book introduction
Mama K’s beautifully colored vintage embroidery
Simple yet attractive, bold but natural
Meet Mama K’s vintage embroidery that makes embroidery stand out with bold and unique colors! Just like taking out an old photo from a bookmark, the moment you embroider will be recorded as a happy memory. Embroidery, stitched meticulously as if drawing images of everyday life, sometimes comforts us and sometimes brings happiness. Although it seems familiar, it reveals its beauty with its own unique color that has not been seen anywhere else. You can learn how to make small items such as picture frames and pouches to make your carefully crafted embroidery stand out, as well as special appliquéing methods. The same painting conveys different feelings depending on my touch. Remember this moment and create your own special embroidery work that you can cherish forever.

Nestled in the heart of Buenos Aires, where tango threads its way through everyday life, Mama K’s vintage embroidery invites you to weave nostalgia into your daily rhythm. Each stitch becomes a note in an unwritten symphony—vivid reds and earthy greens sing tales of family gatherings beneath an ancient olive tree. As I delicately transformed my fabric scraps into pouches inspired by those beloved memories, I felt a spark reminiscent of sunlit afternoons spent with my grandmother crafting wonders from her storied past. The rich colors leap off the page as though beckoning me to bring them alive on fabric; it’s more than embroidery—it’s storytelling at its finest.
