Everyday Embroidery for Modern Stitchers

50 iron on designs are included in this book along with 15 beautiful projects. The projects are suitable for decorating your favourite clothing to making something for the home.

The author has given quite an extensive lesson in embroidery so this book is perfect for the absolute beginner. She has included a ‘stitch guide’ for the basic stitches but has also incorporated so much information such as preparing your fabric and how to transfer the designs.

My favourite project was embroidering Canvas shoes. It is both fun and unique and can jazz up the most plain pair of shoes to make them more interesting.

Each project has tips to help get the most from your stitching from beginning to finishing your piece, the steps are simple to follow and ensures your finished work of art is beautiful. The designs vary in size so there is something for everyone and for every idea.

Let yourself get creative and start your slow stitching journey with this wonderful book.
