Embroidery, Quilting, Sewing & Embellishment Books - "Journal with Thread" Jessie Chorley NEW | ||||
 |
"Journal with Thread" explains how to stitch your own stories in fabric and thread to create a stitched journal, although the pages can be used as pictures etc. if you prefer. Jessie explains how to combine treasured items of fabric, threads and notions with techniques including simple patchwork, hand embroidery and applique, to create a unique, hand stitched book to treasure forever. There are step-by-step instructions for how to make the fabric journal measuring 20cm x 20cm (7.8in x 7.8in). Jessie explains how to create your own seasonal story throughout the book so you can chart your year and mark any memorable occasions or events that you want to include, making it a wonderful memory book for a loved one or a family heirloom to be passed from generation to generation. The central theme of the project is the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, and there are four seasonal hand drawn motifs on iron-on transfer paper that can be used as the basis of the designs. These are accompanied by four further motifs which are intended for the inside and outside covers, and a large selection of smaller motifs for readers to use. Jessie then explains how to fill in and embellish these designs using a variety of her favourite stitches, threads, special notions, treasures, and keepsakes. She also uses sewing techniques including scattered applique as a form of drawing, and simple patchwork. Hardback 128 pages.
