Synopsis

Embroidery artist Yumi Hoops sets out the techniques and methods behind her Japanese-inspired hand embroidery, showing how to build colourful, characterful pieces with a distinctive, quirky finish. Her approach incorporates 3D elements, including mini LEDs and beads, to create work with added depth and detail.

Inside are 15 projects, each presented with clear guidance on the materials, tools, stitches and processes involved, with the patterns gathered at the back of the book. Projects range from Shinjuku’s 3D cat and a plate of gyoza to iridescent koi fish, Takeshita Street and a photo-transfer Tokyo metro carriage. A practical choice for embroidery lovers and readers drawn to Japanese culture.
