Scandi Needlecraft - Clare Youngs

From Clare Youngs, Scandi Needlecraft is a paperback craft book filled with sewing and embroidery projects inspired by traditional Scandinavian style. Across 35 projects, it pairs clean, elegant lines with classic Scandi motifs such as hearts, flowers and birds, brought to life through contemporary techniques and materials. Arranged into five chapters, it offers a varied mix of makes spanning gifts, soft furnishings, kitchen items, bags, clothes and accessories.

Clear instructions and step-by-step artworks guide you through a wide range of techniques, including appliqué, cut work, patchwork, decorative machine stitching, shadow work and ribbon work. Simple stitches such as herringbone, cross stitch, French knots and daisy stitch are also used throughout. With projects designed for every skill level, beginners can start with a simple table runner, while more experienced crafters can take on pieces such as a reindeer soft toy.
