- 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.- Subjects: Punched work.; Embroidery;

"Mending With Kids shows you how to take torn, stained and outgrown kids' clothes and make them better than before using a variety of simple techniques that you can actually do with your kids. This book is filled with helpful tips and techniques for patching, collage (with felt and fabrics), iron-ons, stenciling, darning, embroidery, hand-painting, and much more! Best of all, most of these techniques are easy enough for kids to join in and put their personal stamp on their clothes, which they absolutely love doing! And with your supervision, they'll pick up practical skills along the way. Templates for patches and stencils are included (and kids can trace things you have at home, like puzzle pieces and other fun shapes to expand their creative options). You'll even find a couple of zipper repair techniques to try out before going the replacement route, as well as easy stitching and darning techniques. You will love the chance to preserve and prolong your kids' wardrobe, and kids will love the chance to participate in saving the environment, exercising their creativity and having clothes that are special and unique (all while saving you some money!). It's a win-win-win collaboration, you, your kids, and this book"--Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Children's clothing; Clothing and dress; Handicraft for children.; Patchwork.; Sewing;

- Writing Hawa. by Noori, Najiba,film director.; Noori, Rasul,film director.; Icarus Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Icarus Films in 2024.Filmed over five years, WRITING HAWA follows three generations of Hazara women from the same family in Afghanistan. With unique access and empathy, director Najiba Noori films her mother Hawa and niece Zahra in their aspirations to free themselves from patriarchal traditions. Forced into marriage at the age of 13 to a much older man, the now 52-year-old Hawa spends her time confined to the home to care for her ailing husband. Fed up with the drudgery and isolation of her daily life, Hawa sets out to open a small textile business. We follow her as she searches for traditional embroideries and turns them into modern dresses to sell in Kabul. She is eventually reunited with her granddaughter Zahra, having escaped an abusive father in the countryside. Both denied access to an education as children, Hawa takes Zahra under her wing as the two study together. But the looming takeover of the Taliban hovers in the background on TV screens and news reports, threatening to turn their lives upside down. WRITING HAWA is an essential testimony of women’s resilience in the face of oppression and the dreams cut short by the Taliban’s rapid takeover of Afghanistan in 2021.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Social sciences.; Foreign study.; Gender identity.; Documentary films.; Middle East.; Women's studies.; Current affairs.; Biography.; Afghanistan.; Sex role.; Taliban.; Islam.; Motion pictures--Asia.;
