Unleash your creativity and learn a whole variety of hand embroidery techniques with Clare Albans from Hello! Hooray!. The Modern Embroidery Handbook is a perfect guide for stitchers of all levels, and is something you’ll want to pick up from your bookshelf to refer to time and again. Inspired by vintage sewing companions, the follow up to colorful Fun Embroidery contains step-by-step instructions for 72 different hand embroidery stitches, plus a large-scale sampler, alongside 20 brand new projects. Start with the basic ones most commonly found in embroidery designs, before experimenting with stitches for borders and edging, decorative stitches and motifs, as well as textural stitches and knots. The 20 modern projects give you an opportunity to try out all the stitches, and each one includes full step-by-step instructions, beautiful photos, and templates for you to create them yourself at home. The Modern Embroidery Handbook will encourage and inspire you to go beyond the embroidery hoop, get out of your comfort zone and be bold in trying different techniques. If you’ve ever wanted to experiment with watercolors on fabric, stitch unique customised pieces to wear or use in your home, or even to create 3D effects with hand embroidery, then look no further. This colorful and informative book will give you the confidence to experiment and help you to find joy in taking time out to be creative!

      Starred review from April 1, 2024

      Albans felt she was in a rut soon after the publication of her first book, Colorful Fun Embroidery, so she set a goal to learn a new stitch every week for a year and documented her progress on YouTube in what she called "The Happy Stitch Project." This book is the result of that journey. Her work is divided into six chapters: "The Sampler," "First Stitches," "Borders and Edging," "Decorative Stitches and Motifs," "Textures and Knots," and "Guides and Templates." The book features more than 70 embroidery stitches and 20 projects, and it comes with easy-to-understand directions and close-up color photos that demonstrate stitching techniques. Readers will learn how to create their own design or copy another. Patterns are for decorating T-shirts and sneakers and for creating a frame, bookmarks, and other fun and customizable projects. Also included is a guide on how to finish the back of an embroidery hoop. VERDICT This book's easy-to-follow images are a big plus for readers to learn how to execute basic or more advanced embroidery stitches. For all levels.--Jacqueline Parascandola
