The Compact Beginner's Guide to Embroidery by Esme Clemo

There’s something therapeutic about taking a piece of fabric and turning it into something wonderful. Whether you’re adorning it with a flowery motif, cross stitching the name of a newborn or creating something colourful for your wall, the punching of the needle through a fat quarter or Aida and the rustle of the thread that follows is incredibly calming.

In The Compact Beginner’s Guide to Embroidery, you can experience this for yourself. Regardless of if you’re a needlework novice or a seasoned sewer, we’ve laid out all the tools and techniques you need to get started. The wide range of projects you’ll find in these pages mean that you’ll never be short of gifts for birthdays, holidays, Christenings or those ‘just because’ moments.

So what are you waiting for? Grab your needle and thread, that all-important cup of tea, and turn the page to learn all about the magical world of embroidery.

Great projects to get you started:

• Animal clocks • Bee needlebook • Floral purse • Elephant cushion • Bird tote bag • Coee coasters
