Simply Stitched with Embroidery cover

Beloved Japanese embroidery artist, Yumiko Higuchi’s freshest collection of motifs, is showcased here on a variety of purses, wallets, and bags.

Inside, you’ll find an assortment of simple, folk-inspired floral and animal designs stitched in Yumiko’s signature style, as well nine lovely bag patterns inspired by the motifs. Beautiful step-by-step photos clearly explain Yumiko Higuchi’s favourite techniques for sewing bags, installing metal purse clasps, and making pompom and tassel embellishments.

Use these lovely embroidery motifs to make stunning, one-of-a-kind bags, or be inspired to design your own unique projects.

Japanese embroidery, to me, is always so beautifully delicate, and this book showcases the art of embroidery to perfection.

I love the folk art designs that adorn the bag and purse projects and the flamingos are my absolute favourite.

There is a pattern sheet included, so the designs can be traced to your fabric and along with the written instructions for each project, there are drawings to help guide you.

There is a lot of technique help and tips to give your project a perfect finish.

The designs will inspire you to create your own unique and personal style, and can be used to decorate cushions clothes and so much more.
