Mandalas to Embroider: Kaleidoscope stitching in a hoop

Product Information

This means that all the designs can be simply ironed onto your fabric, saving you the hassle of transferring the design by hand. I love that you embroidered the mandala onto Manchester linen, it makes it look thoroughly modern and with the funky colours,unique. Although Mandalas to Embroider includes 12 mini designs, I decided to jump right into one of the 12 full-sized designs. In addition, there are notes on what you need in your basic embroidery kit from fabrics through to needles and thread which means those new to embroidery can start their journey to mindfulness right away.

This would be a great book for a beginner embroiderer as the stitches are quite simple and the designs are really manageable in a few hours, especially those cute little mini hoops. Now that you have learnt the stitches, you can put them into practice with this pretty Mandala design.Feel free to borrow a photo or two if you're blogging / Pinning / etc my projects but don't repost the tutorials or any templates or patterns. By the end of the project, I felt very confident with the stitches used in this pattern, and I’m ready to learn some of the other stitches for my next embroidery project!

Mandalas to Embroider: Kaleidoscope Stitching in a Hoop by Carina Envoldsen-Harris is a book of circular embroidery patterns. Each of the mini patterns have a common theme: The Explorers, The Gardeners, and The Artists, and I love that each of the mini hoops has a female name- it gives them a nice dash of personality. In my colour palette, the pattern takes on a more serene look, but Carina’s pretty design still shines through. So sit back, pick up your needles and lose yourself in the captivating, calming world of embroidery.Floral motifs figure prominently, including seasonal designs featuring cherry blossoms and poinsettias, as well as stylized and Scandinavian-style flowers. There's a Materials and stitches section which walks you through each stitch used, a brief guide on hoops, and a how-to guide for mini Dandelyne hoops, which is a lovely plus. The market loved them and so she continued, introducing full colour and a successful series of practical art books – the Leisure Arts.
