Pop-up embroidery : a beginner's guide to modern raised stitches / by Denn, Ashley,author.;
"A collection of playful, contemporary designs that introduces a new generation of needlecrafters to the charms of raised embroidery. Through step-by-step guides, Ashley Denn takes you on a pop-up journey, introducing you to the art of raised embroidery. Your adventure through Pop-up embroidery begins with a collection of patterns using one to two raised stitches, then moves on to other collections of patterns using multiple raised stitches in combination with one raised technique. The book concludes with three patterns using an array of already-practiced raised stitches and techniques to create complete three-dimensional scenes. Denn's thoughtful progression allows readers to choose whether they want to move steadily through the book from beginning to end or to flip through and take their pick of which projects to complete first. Including more than 30 raised embroidery stitches and techniques -- and with ways to apply them in 20 guided in-hoop embroidery projects -- Pop-up embroidery is an accessible guidebook crafted by Denn, a teacher who makes learning this craft a delightful experience. Additionally, she identifies the materials needed to be successful with each project and includes a directory of raised stitches and techniques; iron-on transfer sheets for easy pattern transfer are also included. This is truly a book for all skill levels, whether you're new to the craft or simply new to elevated stitches"--

Punch needle embroidery for beginners / by Davidson, Lucy(Graphic designer),author.;
Punch needle embroidery is back! It's a simple technique that involves nothing more than a punch needle - like a normal sewing needle, but with a handle and an aperture at the tip. It can be used on any fabric using either yarn or thread, and creates a textured, raised finish that's soft to the touch and beautiful to look at. The easy-to-learn technique and repetitive action makes this the perfect, mindful pursuit, and projects from wall hangings and cushions to children's toys, bags and purses can be worked up quickly and easily with minimal effort. Author Lucy Davidson's imaginative designs are stunning, and will appeal to anyone with an eye for clean, modern design. All the techniques you need are described at the start of the book, with information on how to hold the needle, how to start and finish a thread and how to achieve a variety of interesting textures and colour combinations. There are then 12 projects to try, all accompanied by charts, written instructions and beautiful photographs of the finished pieces.
