Book Review – Animal Embroidery Workbook

October 29, 2020 by Claudia Porter Leave a Comment

This beautifully illustrated book entitled Animal Embroidery Workbook by Jessica Long is a must-have if you want to create some lovely critter embroidery.

There are 30 different projects, each with a detailed and unique design.  With sections on beginner designs, confident beginner projects, beginner thread painting and thread painting, there are options for all skill levels.  Additionally, there are plenty of photographs and instructions to guide you through the projects.  You will find a large section on getting started, including what supplies you need, transfer techniques, and finishing off instructions.  Lastly, there is a complete stitch guide.

For anyone wanting to try your hand at animal embroidery, this is the book for you.  Covering all of the seasons, there are so many different animals to choose from.  A squirrel gathering nuts among autumn leaves, a cat in a field of daisies, or a pair of otters floating among starfish are just a few of the designs to choose from.

Start your own menagerie with these lovely designs from Jessica Long.
