Synopsis

Embroidery is taken beyond the flat surface with a focus on stumpwork and thread painting, showing how to create 3D elements that lift from the fabric and bring stitched subjects to life. The book covers core methods, including thread painting, constructing raised components, and finishing techniques designed to give completed pieces a polished look.

Projects centre on creatures, insects and botanicals, with stitch breakdowns that aim to keep intricate details approachable. Alongside larger makes, it also includes miniature embroidery intended for small pendants and frames, with ideas for using finished motifs as home décor, wardrobe adornments and accessories. Suitable for both beginners and experienced stitchers.
