Synopsis

Punch needle embroidery is often associated with homewares, but here it is reimagined as a way to create a set of cute, cuddly characters with simple outline shapes that sit somewhere between toy and cushion. The book includes designs and instructions for 20 distinctive animals, such as Bruno the Beaver, Enrique the Elephant and Felipe the Fox, each finished with individual outfits created using a mix of traditional and modern punch needle stitches.

Step-by-step instructions and photography cover how to begin, from choosing tools and materials to transferring designs onto fabric. You will also find practical advice on holding the needle correctly, selecting colours and fixing errors, plus full-size templates for all 20 projects.
