Description

Break the rules with a sewing style that's all about embracing imperfection. In this book, Poppy Treffry shares her unique approach to freehand machine embroidery, where rough edges and mismatched fabric come together to create quirky and memorable projects. With this book, you'll learn to see your sewing machine as an artist's tool, capable of producing one-of-a-kind creations. Poppy guides you through the basics, from getting to grips with your sewing machine to choosing fabrics and hooping up ready to stitch. She then demonstrates how to use core techniques, including outlining, shading, and appliqué, to create charming pictures. You'll also discover how to layer fabric pieces and leave edges to fray, adding to the unique and personal effect. With 16 projects to complete, you'll be able to put your new skills to use and make practical and desirable sewn objects, such as embroidered craft kits, gifts for little ones, and party decorations.
