itosino's Miniature Animal Embroidery
The first book by popular embroidery artist itosino (EdaMaki) (on Instagram as @itosino_mori)! Over 100 patterns of super cute miniature animals that look as if they came out of a fairytale!
In this book, itosino explains her soluble embroidery technique, consisting in using water-soluble paper to transfer your patterns onto the cloth. This makes it easier to finish the embroidery with a clean backside, especially useful if you're going to turn it into a brooch or a diorama! (The patterns can of course be embroidered with regular transfer paper too)
All patterns are included in their actual size, with larger pictures of the finished embroidery to help you understand how the stitches look!
