Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Adult nonfiction; embroidery/sewing. Another embroidery primer that encourages modern girls to take up this lost art. The cover illustration is perhaps the best part of the book--the technique instruction is good but many of the projects themselves are uninspiring (and often not very attractively packaged). I would recommend Jenny Hart's Sublime Stitching instead. ( ) I was complaining about the state of embroidery and the lack of anything that I would actually be interested in making, and then, browsing aimlessly in a bookstore, what do I see but Doodle Stitching by Aimee Ray. I loved almost every page, but some favorites were the sweet dreams baby pillow and the felt forest creatures. These are cute designs that aren't your traditional flowers and well... flowers, but they aren't the other extreme of the angry punk rock craze ala subversive cross stitch or the cheesy hula girls/goth/pirates ala sublime stitching. Just nice simple designs with practical uses.
Asian-inspired lampshades embellished with flying fish. Canvas sneakers decorated with pink and white swirls. A pretty pillow adorned with a sleeping bunny, sweetly curled up. All it takes to create these appealing projects--or add charming embroidered touches in no time at all--are a few simple stitches, some easy techniques, and the nearly 30 projects in this book. Begin by learning several styles for outlining, filling, decorating, and appliqué. Find out about floss, fancy threads, fabrics, and needles. Get the scoop on hoops, and the lowdown on transferring your very own designs onto every type of fabric. The fresh ideas, witty patterns, and clever color illustrations take stitchers from novice to accomplished in a blink of the eye! Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
