Felt Brooches with Free-Machine Stitching

The aim of this book will be to provide a range of very attractive felt brooch designs that will appeal to seasoned sewing machine users as well as beginners. There is a techniques section which shows readers all the stitches that are used in the book, and the designs range from popular motifs such as an owl, a chicken, dogs, cats, cupcakes, fairies and flowers, as well as more quirky subjects such as a beach hut and a seed head. The author has made 20 designs in bought felt, which are featured in the styled shots, and 20 designs in her own handmade felt, which are used as a detail. As well as these, there is a template on each spread, which readers will enlarge by 200 per cent in order to trace. Some of the designs include tiny bits of organza, beads and other materials and all the stitching is explained carefully in the step-by-step instructions.
