Synopsis

Centred on hand embroidery, this book presents 25 projects that combine popular animal designs from Jessica Long Embroidery with patterns created exclusively for this collection. Alongside the projects, Jessica Long sets out beginner-friendly guidance on essential stitches, tools, supplies and techniques, supported by detailed instructions.

Modern approaches such as blending and building depth and texture are explained with colour diagrams, stitch-direction diagrams, colour keys and full-sized patterns. Projects range from simple to advanced, offering a structured way to develop skills while exploring a wide variety of animal motifs, including a bluebird, seahorse, beetle, axolotl and garden mouse.
