Vintage embroidery designs with a modern twist.Artfully Embroidered reinvents vintage embroidery through a modern aesthetic. Traditional Japanese and western motifs are made new with color and embellishment, and 25 embroidered patterns demonstrate the beauty of the traditional designs while keeping the projects fresh and modern-looking for today's sewists. Step-by-step instructions and templates allow readers to create lovely sewn or embroidered projects or use the hand embroidery motifs on their own designs.Projects include a variety of handbags, totes, coin purses, compacts, as well as book and tablet covers. In addition, there are visual examples of embroidery used as embellishment on clothing and linens. Also included are pattern inserts for selected projects.
Beautiful book, this ia delightful for all the reasons Japanese craft books are superior to all others. Unlike many Japanese craft books, most of these wonderful designs are quite achievable. In fact, because the patterns to cut out and sew are included, you will find this useful even if you use machine embroidery on the fabric before it is cut out.Don't worry; the text is in English, although I found the Japanese books quite easy to use, even when there was no English at all in the books I bought when I lived there. Not only is there great attention to detail, but the abundance of photos, diagrams, and line drawings make it easy to recreate these beauties. And the lovely purse frames are available from Amazon, too. I have been collecting Japanese craft books for nearly 30 years, and I have not been disappointed yet.
