Format: Paperback

In the colourful trend of embroidery, here's the next thing to learn: Whitework, the method using white thread to embroider amazing texture, sculpture, and loveliness. Learn the timeless charm of whitework embroidery, and see why it's one of the few types of needlework that has rarely gone out of style. These 15 gorgeous designs, each with a project to show it off, demonstrate how whitework uses white (or sometimes off-white) on a white or off-white background fabric. The designs come to life not through color, but through the visual texture and sculptural effects your stitches create. Learn four of the most popular types of traditional whitework embroidery-Schwalm embroidery, Ajour, Hedebo, and drawn threadwork. The projects here are easy to make, including table linens, pouches, wearables, and more, and are designed to fit perfectly with today's sense of beauty. Here's your opportunity to easily take up whitework embroidery. Includes a complete how-to stitch guide and full-size patterns. AUTHOR: Seiko Nakano teaches whitework classes and focuses her students on both mastery and fun. As a needlework artist, she exhibits her work and also curates embroidery exhibits. Her work is featured in needlework catalogues and craft magazines. She lives in Tokyo, Japan. SELLING POINTS: . Set your coloured floss aside and learn whitework to expand your embroidery enjoyment .
