Book review: Stitchy Kitty Fuzzy Puppy

November 14, 2009 by Denise Felton 2 Comments

kittyInterweave Press has done it again! On a cuteness scale of 1 to 10, the projects in this book rate at least a 12. You’ll enjoy every page of Stitchy Kitty Fuzzy Puppy: 60 Motifs to Stitch Everywhere. Interweave says (and I wholeheartedly agree):

This how-to craft book by Japanese embroiderer Ayako Otsuka combines embroidery, stumpwork, and sewing projects to create the most adorable accessories for your home or wardrobe…These embroidered motifs are shown step-by-step so that all of the book’s furry friends can be stitched on just about anything!…More than just an embroidery book, Stitchy Kitty Fuzzy Puppy offers complete sewing instructions for all the projects so crafters can create the surface to showcase their embroidery.

Dimensional! That’s what makes these designs unique. Fur created with Smyrna stitch. Perky ears of raised leaf stitch. And much, much more.

The book retails for just US $19.95, and it’s on sale right now at Amazon.com for US $13.57! No affiliation; just good advice. ISBN 978-1-59668-183-5.
