Embroidery
Nov 21st 2009 05:17
In the end, I bought a book about embroidery in ribbons. [Is it correct to use "in" here? My dictionary has "embroidery in silk", but it doesn't say anything about the embroidery that uses ribbons as the material.] She likes to make different handmade things, and she's really good at it, so I thoght she'd like the book. It has thorough instructions and various examples of embroideries. I never imagined that you can make such beautiful things with ribbons. (To tell the truth, I'm not good at needlework, even though we were taught it at school). Here are some pictures I found on the Internet.
After seeing all the pictures in the book, I became very interested and thought that maybe I should try and make something myself...

Actually, her birthday was yesterday, but I knew I will meet her only tomorrow, I would meet her today so I decided to spend some more time choosing what to give her.
In the end, I bought a book about embroidery in ribbons.** with ribbons or using ribbons
My dictionary has "embroidery in silk", but it doesn't say anything about the embroidery that uses ribbons as the material.** I would say "using ribbons" if you are using ribbons instead of thread. If you are embroidering the design onto a ribbon then you could refer to it as an embroidery in a ribbon. Basically it depends on whether the ribbon is the stitching material or the location of the design. Hope this makes sense!
