Over the weekend I purchased this Japanese craft book, Embroidery Emblem by Atsumi. I was fond of the idea that these mini embroidered pins looked like they could have been passed down from generation to generation. I especially liked the emblems that resembled military medals and family crests. Before I even got the book home, I was already imagining how the pins would look on my cardigans.Below are a few images from the book and a embroidered pin I made.
Above are the emblems I plan on making for my sweaters.
Here are some of the projects in the book. All of them come with embroidery patterns.
*UPDATE - I'm so glad most of you said a high collar blouse because that's exactly what it is. Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment :)

A high collar blouse? :)
Yes, it looks like a ruffled blouse . . . that, or a turkey "dressed" up for the annual Thanksgiving dinner! :)
That's my guess, too! Those are really unique, I love them! The ones that look like old medals are amazing! More posts about these, please!
It definitely looks like a pretty ruffled, high-necked blouse with puffy sleeves. It's adorable.
I think it looks like a high-collared blouse with mutton sleeves!
I think it looks like a lady's Victorian shirt, or maybe a dress military-type of jacket. Now I am curious to see what the answer is.
oIt's some sort of blouse, I think.
definitely a blouse--a froufrou one.
high neck collar blouse with mutton sleeves.
I was thinking an Angel before I read the comments....
it's a turkey! But I thought it was an armchair at first glance :)
It looks like a blouse with a ruffle front with 3 buttons. I like the purple. :)
Sumiko,
It's funny that you said a Thanksgiving turkey because that's exactly what I was afraid others would say.
To everyone,
In case you didn't see the update, it's a high collar blouse. Thanks for all your guesses. You guys are great!
When I first started reading I thought most of the patterns would be for military-type patterns. How fun to have ruffled blouse, gloves and all the other projects too!
Nice job on the blouse, BTW.
Pinned your blouse too.
Totally my guess was a blouse! This looks like such a fun project to do! I would love to see what else you end up making. :)
