Compare the five vintage hairstyle portraits in the Hairstyles Series PDF. Find out which pattern suits your embroidery style and skill level.
Quick answer
The Hairstyles Series PDF includes five vintage hairstyle portraits by Jenny Hart: Bob, Marcel, Victory Rolls, Bouffant, and Beehive. Each offers two versions and four color suggestions, so your choice depends on which silhouette and stitching challenge appeals most.
What makes each pattern different
All five patterns share the same large-format, trace-friendly design and relaxing stitch experience. The real difference is the hairstyle silhouette: Bob is sleek and modern, Marcel has soft waves, Victory Rolls is dramatic and retro, Bouffant is voluminous, and Beehive is tall and sculptural. Each pattern also includes two versions of the portrait and four color suggestions, so you can personalize the look without extra work.
Pattern comparison tradeoffs
- Bob: A clean, chin-length cut with straight lines. Easiest to trace and stitch because of minimal curves.
- Marcel: Soft, finger-wave curls create gentle movement. Requires careful attention to follow the wave pattern but remains beginner-friendly.
- Victory Rolls: Dramatic rolled sections at the crown. The most intricate silhouette, offering a satisfying challenge for experienced stitchers.
- Bouffant: High, rounded volume with smooth contours. Balanced complexity—more detail than Bob but less than Victory Rolls.
- Beehive: Tall, conical shape with a textured top. Distinctive and bold, but the height may require more thread coverage. If you want the entire set, the all-five PDF gives you all five patterns at a discount compared to buying individually.
