This delightful little craft book from French artist Sylvie Blondeau presents more than 100 adorable projects to decorate everyday objects for babies. With decorating ideas for things they use all the time, such as nappie bags, blankies, bibs, bottle holders, and toys, this embroidery book teaches easy-to-follow personalisation ideas for both first-time and experienced sewing fiends.
Using step-by-step illustrations and text, readers will learn twenty-one embroidery methods -- des secrets de la broderie -- so they can easily embroider every project in the book and add sweetness and charm to all things that babies love and require. In no time readers will be adding bunnies to pillows, baby carrots to bibs, teddy bears to blankies, flowers and baby faces to onesies.
At a very affordable $15.99, this is the perfect purchase for an expecting mother, proud grandmother, and anyone looking to personalise a gift for a newborn. It is part of a new Harper Design embroidery series and is dolled up in a petit and colourful package, with each project inside looking as if it has been hand-stitched directly into the book.
For the ever-growing world of crafters -- the mothers, grandmothers, and new generation of crafters on Etsy and Pinterest, the women personalising things for themselves and gifts for their loved ones -- the books they flock to are the most charming ones, and no other embroidery book is as charming, as inspire et enchante, and as easy-to-follow as this one.
