About this item

• Zakka Embroidery presents designs that are an elegant blend of Japanese and Scandinavian style.
• The motifs and patterns are spare and graphic, yet softened with organic shapes and imagery drawn from nature.
• The result is embroidery that evokes a personal feel and conjures a sense of nostalgia.
• The task of picking just the right palette for an embroidery project can be overwhelming to beginners and experienced stitchers alike.
• But when you take away that challenge, a whole world of texture and style becomes available.
• Here Japanese designer Yumiko Higuchi presents embroidery motifs to be stitched using just one or two colors—creating patterns and designs that are more evocative for their form than for a play of colors.
• Each embroidery design is paired with a simple craft project, transforming the stitched fabric into a functional object, including pouches, pillows, aprons, and more.
• With beautiful photographs, clear step-by-step instructions, and detailed diagrams, Zakka Embroidery will be an inspiring guide for those new to embroidery and a delightful experience for those experienced with needle and thread.
