The Handstitched Home: Ideas, Inspirations and Projects for Modern and Vintage Textiles Book

The Hand-Stitched Home: Projects and Inspiration for Creating Embroidered Textiles for the Home is an inspirational book by the embroiderer and textile designer Caroline Zoob. Full of beautifully photographed projects and ideas, from a simple flower on the edge of a chair cover to more intricate window treatments, this book will prove invaluable for anyone wanting to add elegant embroidered touches to modern, airy decorating schemes. In the introduction to The Hand-Stitched Home, Caroline considers crucial points essential for successful hand-stitching such as the choice and use of colour 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, 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 dressing. 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, The Hand-Stitched Home will inspire you to create beautifully decorative pieces for your home.Read More

    This book is about adding personal touches to your home to enrich your environment. These can be tiny embroidered details such as covering a mark on linen sofa with a little embroidered patch or creating a modern-day sampler to commemorate an event that will become an instant heirloom. For each project Caroline Zoob shares her inspiration and ideas. She discusses her colour choices and offers a palette with some alternative ideas demonstrating how small details such as a different stitch can alter the final effect. She demonstrates throughout the book that embroidery is a creative art and that there are always different ways to do things - embroidering is essentially painting with a needle.
