Designer Bead Embroidery: 150 Patterns and Complete Techniques

SKU:  

Availability:   Usually ships in 1 business days
 

Combining beads with embroidery stitches on clothing and accessories has a long tradition that has seen a revival in recent years. This book collects projects mostly by Australian designers who use traditional embroidery stitches with beads and sequins to quite lovely effect. Some have three-dimensional elements similar to stumpwork. Fashion designer King (Designer Techniques: Couture Tips for Home Sewing) presents design motifs stitched entirely of beads and sequins that may be added to one's clothing. The motifs include flowers, borders, and allover filling stitches. Both books are recommended for public library crafts collections. -Library Journal October 15, 2006

5Great Book For Many Occasions!  Aug 28, 2008
This is a excellent book for adding beads to just about ANYTHING! All the directions for these patterns are in the book - plus all the examples of the stitches. The entire alphabet, lots of flowers, a wedding section and even Christmas! Also, it has an extensive section on how to add beads to clothes. I love this book!

I was impressed with the level of class and style this was able to inspire as well as being clearly written.

I was really disappointed in this book. I have heard to much about the author but never seen any of his work. This almost seemed it was meant for high end evening gowns. Also for me there was maybe one or two patterns out of the 150 I would have maybe made. I sent this back.

3Not what I expected  Aug 30, 2007
I looked forward to the publication of this book, because I had seen and been impressed by the author's clothing. However, it turned out to be a disappointment in many ways. There are some very good instructions, especially on using sequins, but most of the book is given over to a number of designs which I guess are for use on clothing. I found most of them completely uninspiring and I wish more space had been given to techniques.
