Description
In 2026, the UK celebrates the Bayeux Tapestry's first trip to British soil in 900 years, with a feted exhibition at the British Museum.

With Tapestry enthusiast and embroidery expert Mia Hansson as your guide, celebrate this historic moment: embroider your way through the story of the Norman conquest of England in 1066, and recreate some of the world's most famous embroidery for yourself using simple stitches and full-size iron-on transfers.

Bring the Bayeux Tapestry to life by embroidering 25 historic scenes featuring bishops, knights, trees, dragons, horses and, of course, King Harold with the fateful arrow in his eye.

Discover creative insights into the craftsmanship and skill used to create one of the most significant cultural artefacts in the world and recreate key parts of it for yourself using simple stitches and full-size iron-on transfers.

  • Choose from the 25 iron-on transfer designs simply cut them out and iron them on to your fabric, giving you precise outlines and a shortcut to stitching.
  • The book contains a complete guide to tools and materials (just seven shades of 2-ply crewel wool are used), and illustrated step-by-step instructions for working the four stitches (stem stitch, chain stitch, double running stitch and Bayeux stitch), along with advice on using the transfers and planning your stitch journey.

Stunning photography and instructive stitch diagrams make this historical and artistic masterpiece accessible whether you want to replicate one of Aesop's fables that appear in the friezes, or majestic sections such as Harold's coronation.

About the Author
Starting in 2016, Mia Hansson started embroidering a full-scale Bayeux Tapestry replica, using fabrics and threads as similar as possible to those used in the original work. She is due to finish this extraordinary achievement in time for the 1000th anniversary of William the Conqueror's birth, in 2027. The Bayeux Tapestry spans almost 70 metres (77 yards) and features over 1,500 designs.
