About this title

Synopsis

For everyone who loves doing embroidery but needs ideas on how to to use it! Mary Gostelow, one of today's best-known embroidery authors, gives full 'recipes' for designing, stitching and making-up a wide variety of clever and original clothes, furnishings and gifts. From a portable games board to lively looking hand puppets to fascinate the children, an elegant waistcoat, bag, or tie - a tennis dress - even a wedding dress - there are ideas and careful instructions for 30 different items. Add embroidery to a ready-made skirt; make your own family-tree sampler to hang on the wall. The projects are fully illustrated with how-to-do-it diagrams and a photograph of the finished item with some colour photographs as well. They are graded for difficulty, and whether you are an advanced embroiderer or less experienced you will find plenty to satisfy you. The projects look good, are fun to do and offer plenty of scope for your own variations.
