Hand Sewing Magic by Lynn Krawczyk

★★★★★  The publisher provided a copy for review
Ever wondered what to do with a needle and thread? Maybe you've tried it and things bunched or turned out lumpy.

With very limited materials, you can make all kinds of fun embroider and connect fabrics and and other items to fabrics. The book offers clear instructions on buying threads and yarns. It shows you how to make and use utility stitches, and demonstrates a lot of fancy stitches, including dimensional embroidery. You'll like the projects, from easy to more challenging - book covers, a scarf, jacket, etc.

Recommended - esp if you're a young professional with time to relax in the evening OR a young mom who feels like she has nothing to show for the day ... after dishes are washed - again, laundry is folded - again. I remember how much fun crafts were at that stage of life. Pick up a copy.
