Product Description
We translated the cutest Japanese patterns we could find to bring you the appeal of authentic Japanese content with the ease of English instruction. The result is such a treat. With Woolly Embroidery, learn how to add stunning designs to clothes and home accessories using simple crewel, stump work, canvas work, and other embroidery techniques. And it's so easy to pick up. If you can sew a button, you can embroider?it doesn't involve any complicated patterns or grids, just forgivingly freeform stitching. All you need is a needle and some wool thread. Helpful illustrations explain more than 30 decorative stitches so you can follow the instructions and color guides exactly or improvise your own motifs. With dozens of photographs to inspire, you'll want to embellish everything in your world-handbags, couch cushions, a sewing kit case, and so much more.

Don't be Crewel May 5, 2008
17 out of 20 found this review helpful
Ack ack ack. Sorry for the pun in the title, I just couldn't resist. This book was a big disappointment, I'm afraid. The cover looks so hip and fun, so I was expecting more of the same inside, but it's actually very "country crafts" and old-fashioned (NOT in a good way). THE NEW CREWEL is a much better book. There are only 15 projects in this book, which I think is kind of skimpy. I'm vaguely interested in making the pillow (from the cover of the book) and one handbag, but that's it.
