Doodle Stitching: Fresh & Fun Embroidery for Beginners

Doodle Stitching: Fresh and Fun Embroidery for Beginners I have always wanted to embroider & have never been brave enough.I bought this book after reading the amazon reviews I was not disappointed it's fab! The stitches are presented clear & colourful. I loved that the projects are simple but also that they are inspiring, you really think I could do that, what's more I could add a bit of this and....I particularily liked the fireworks design on the halter top as it's a simple way to customise clothes & the cute softie owl & racoon. If you don't know where to begin by this you won't regret it!

This book is a refreshing change from traditional embroidery books. It's modern and inspiring. Ideal for beginners. It concentrates on about 18 basic stitches to create a range of designs. No counting or measuring. Lot's of clear and bright photographs and only minimum equipment required. I can't wait to get started.

Lovely book with lots of easy to do projects. Not all designs are to my taste, but they did set me off however to develop more designs of my own. Great book to get you started.

Daughters comment. This book is fabulous. It teaches you the basic stitches that you need to create a variety of effects with clear precise pictures and text. Nicely structured book. It covers the materials needed to create your own embroidery and gives you samples of what you can make. Overall an excellent book for a beginner like myself to embroidery.

This is a great book for beginners. I had not embroidered anything in my life but the book covered the basics very well. There are also a number of examples that you can make, but I've just used them for inspiration so far - the whole point of the book is to go out and make your own. I highly recommend this book for beginners. I can't comment on how intermediate/advanced embroiders would find it but for me it was great. After I was done reading it I felt I could definitely re-create the front of the book picture if I wanted.

Some fun designs, definitely for beginners. I bought it for inspiration, but it's rather basic for experienced stitches.

I.love this book I've recently become a huge fan of Aimee's work it's such a refreshing change . I'm very new to embroidery and I've been waiting for something modern as old style embroidery left me cold High recommended

Thanks to this book I can now do French Knots, something I've been trying to figure out since I was 16 and I'm 40 now!. Nice clear instructions and pretty designs.

I like Aimee Ray’s designs so much, I bought both the Doodle Stitching book and the Doodle Stitching Transfer Pack.

刺繍のステッチのこととか、図案が事細かに載っているわけでは無い。 図案に関しても、本のあちらこちらの作品から適当に写し取る感じ。 図案を作品にどのように使うか・・・とか、色使いはどのようにするかといったことは、 とても参考になると思う。 作品や図案がとてもかわいく、簡単に出来るオーナメントなどは、刺繍が初めての方にもすてきに出来ると思う。

Good book, very simple and elegantly written. Loved the illustrations.

Libro di ricamo utile per principianti che ci regala progetti divertenti e ore spensierate. IL LIBRO è adatto a chi si approccia al mondo del ricamo da poco o vuole ricominciare con questa simpatica forma espressiva. Vengono presentati i materiali, i progetti e gli schemi; i progetti comprendono oggetti di uso quotidiano come borsette, pochette, foulard e possono essere aggiunti a qualunque nostro capo d'abbigliamento, come ad esempio ad una gonna o ad una camicetta. I punti vengono illustrati efficacemente con disegni a colori che illustrano al meglio la tecnica. MI CONVINCE? Sì, anche se per me non è una grande novità in quanto ricamo da tanti anni e questi punti già li conoscevo. È un insieme di idee semplici da poter sfruttare per ricami che non costano grande fatica; lo consiglio soprattutto a chi è alle prime armi, chi è più esperto potrebbe trovarlo già visto o troppo semplice. Le idee sono comunque molto ma molto graziose, direi deliziose, quindi se anche siete esperte, ma come me, cercate ricami semplici con motivi teneri e delicati, è un libro che potrà piacervi. Ottima qualità della stampa, delle foto, dei disegni e della rilegatura. Testo interamente in inglese PRO: ricami ben spiegati, vari punti da cui attingere anche per altri lavori, tanti progetti ben definiti. CONTRO: ad oggi nessuno.

Un libro muy bonito con muchas ideas fáciles para bordar.
