Bordados decorativos para el hogar: Proyectos Inspiradores Para Cortinas, Colchas, Cenefas, Fundas Y Cojines

In the introduction to Bordados decorativos para el hogar, Caroline considers certain points essential for successful hand-stitching such as the choice and use of color and fabric. She looks at sources of inspiration and explains the importance of spotting things that lend themselves to be captured in stitches such as the dots on the petals of a hellebore, the bare branches of trees or rolled bales of hay in a field. She advises how to seek inspiration from threads, buttons, picture frames, and scraps of lace or old greetings cards. The book is then divided into five main chapters that include a wide variety of projects, such as making pictures and window dressings. The book concludes with a practical section that covers stitches and techniques, templates and suppliers. Whether you are an experienced sewer or taking up your needle for the first time, this book will inspire you to create beautifully decorative pieces for your home.
