Publisher's Synopsis
Simple stitches, elegant and quirky motifs and a classic colour scheme combine to create fun embroidery projects for all skill levels! Calming blues from a day at the beach, the soft white tones of clouds and seashells-we never tire of pairing shades of blue with white. In this book, author Kozue Yazawa draws inspiration from the natural world and her own surroundings, using an array of these colors in classic nautical motifs that evoke a sense of elegance and nostalgia. Lessons demonstrate all the basic embroidery stitches and give tips for tracing the templates, making it easy to embroider these designs even if you've never picked up a hoop and needle before. Follow the simple instructions and diagrams to turn your embroidery into delightful things to make and use, like: A sea urchin pincushion, conch shell scissors holder and needle book for your sewing supplies Tote bags sporting anchors, starfish, and sailor hats to carry anything you might need-from groceries to supplies for a day at the beach An elegant garland of flowers for your wrist and a stylish shawl to keep warm A notebook cover and keychain charms to elevate your accessories And much more-30 projects in all! These projects are easy to complete quickly, but fun to savour slowly, leaving room for creativity. Let Blue & White Embroidery be just the start of adding this well-loved colour scheme to your favourite things.
