By the Sea
By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea…
A nostalgic theme for this sewing set with little changing tents lined up for the front of the needle book. The inside includes a couple of sea-bathers in their vintage swimwear, along with the lyrics to the chorus of this old song first published in 1914. The resident mermaid adorns the large linen berry, as well as the design
Also look for the companion Mermaid Berry from the Silk Berry Collection.
