Synopsis

Choosing thread colours can feel like a project in itself; this book removes that hurdle by focusing on motifs worked in just one or two colours. Higuchi’s patterns are described as spare and graphic, softened by organic shapes and nature-inspired imagery, with an emphasis on form rather than colour.

Alongside the motifs, each design is paired with a straightforward project, including items such as ribbons, pillows and pouches. With its contemporary approach and a style noted as a blend of Japanese and Scandinavian influences, it is positioned as an approachable starting point for beginner stitchers.
