Hi Suzi I'm keen to translate the text on the pdf pattern. Most of it seems pretty self-explanatory, but it is the unknown that frustrates me. I'm learning tambour embroidery and hope to replicate the design on the skirt. Does the book have any English translations? I have it on order but won't get it for a few weeks. Bye for now,
