Hand embroidery is hugely popular – there are over 500K posts on
Instagram with the hashtag #handembroidery. Its influence can be
seen across all design sectors from fashion to interiors with hand
embroidered embellishments visible on clothes from the catwalk to the
high street. Flowers are one of the most popular themes across all
crafts and this title combines these two elements to create a
compelling offering that will appeal to stitchers of all abilities.
Modern hand embroiderer Kristen Gula will show readers how to
create 200 flowers, leaves and foliage from a stitch library of less than
10 embroidery stitches. As well as the step tutorials for the flowers it
will also include 10 contemporary sewing projects for home décor
items and accessories that showcase the embroidery. The projects
include a collar motif, pillow cover, table decoration and shoe
embellishments.
