A lovely little embroidery book with patterns and instructions for seasonal flower embroidery. In addition to the embroidery patterns, there are instructions for small projects they can be used for, such as a scissor case, pincushion, fabric bag, apron, napkin ring, and more. The embroidery patterns have palettes based on colors from DMC embroidery floss, which you can purchase here in the online store!
At the back of the book, the techniques are described and illustrated, and there are templates for the motifs that can be traced (for example, onto water-soluble stabilizer or paper, and then transferred to fabric with carbon paper, for instance).
Flower embroidery is something many people like to use for repairs, to cover rips, stains, or small holes, or simply to decorate and upgrade a garment or other textiles. If you enjoy embroidering but want some help and inspiration for more varied plant motifs, this book is excellent.
The author is from Japan, and the flowers are very similar to those found in Norwegian flora, such as clover, violets, snowdrops, dandelions, hazelnuts, daffodils, wild strawberries, and more.
The book features 45 embroidery patterns and 20 sewing projects that incorporate some of these.
