About this ebook
Stash-busting embroidery projects for home décor, clothes, and accessories with folk art-inspired designs, by author of Modern Folk Embroidery.
Big Embroidery is all about stitching beautiful designs up fast using yarn instead of embroidery thread. Designer Nancy Nicholson has created a collection of stunning designs based on traditional crewel work, and adapted them for a modern audience using everyday yarn.
Crewel embroidery is traditionally done using two-ply wool and stitched onto linen. Nancy shows how to get beautiful results using different types of yarn and fabric, including upholstery fabrics, woolens, and tweeds, to create a collection of stunning quick-to-stitch projects.
Choose from home decor items such as cushions, bags, wall hangings and table runners, as well as ideas for embellishing clothing. Nancy shows readers how to do all the key embroidery stitches with a stitch library featuring easy-to-follow diagrams of all the basic crewel embroidery stitches in detail.
