Description
Embroidery lovers, expand your stitching repertoire to include punch needle!
Discover the art of punch needle with this collection of 11 special projects from Japanese embroidery artist Yumiko Higuchi. This series of sweet little projects will teach you how to achieve rich, three-dimensional textures and finishes with your fibre art, all using a punch needle pen and embroidery floss.
In this curated collection, Higuchi offers her simple, modern spin on classic embroidery projects, including brooches, pouches, coasters, samplers, pillows, and hoop art. Inspired by the colours and shapes of nature, her designs feature fruit, flowers, leaves, gemstones, and animals. She explores different punch needle techniques, utilising traditional embroidery floss to create a variety of textures, from flat stitches and tidy little loops to plush, three-dimensional shapes. You'll also learn how to create shading with embroidery floss and incorporate metallic thread into your work for an elegant touch.
This lovely introduction to punch needle is designed for modern makers who love Yumiko Higuchi's style and are interested in exploring this fun craft. Once you get started with this rhythmic, meditative needle art, you won't be able to stop!
