This isn't your grandma's embroidery! Embroidery Designs: Natural Splendor is a modern take on a classic craft—no stuffy, old-fashioned flowers here. The 64-page, fully illustrated guide book has everything you need to start embellishing anything and everything with modern, chic embroidery.
Among the designs you can add to your wardrobe and accessories with this book are a hummingbird, dragonfly, ladybug, and bumblebee.
Even if you're completely new to needlework and embroidery, Embroidery Designs: Natural Splendor is a great starting point, because it opens with a how-to on basic embroidery stitches. From there, the step-by-step projects will show you how to add designs from nature to purses, pillows, skirts, backpacks, and just about anything you can get a needle through!
The kit includes a bamboo embroidery hoop, two pieces of cotton embroidery fabric, two pattern transfer sheets, ten skeins of colorful embroidery floss, and two embroidery needles.
