A richly illustrated step-by-step book with instructions for 120 embroidery stitches, showing how to create new patterns and variations for contemporary creative embroidery. I break down the stitches, showing where in the process you can make creative variations, known as ‘play points’. The book shows how you can manipulate height, width, texture and density of your stitches making for endless creative variations. Instructions are in both left-handed and right-handed versions. Whether you are a beginner or more experienced stitcher, this book has plenty for everyone.

Creative Stitches for Contemporary Embroidery is available at all good bookstores and you can follow more of Sharon’s work on her website and blog at:
