Alice Makabe – Botanical Pattern Embroidery: Full Size Design and How to Make

Alice Makabe uses basic, simple stitches to create lively flowers and birds, and this book features “botanical patterns” combining floral and foliage motifs.

Small bouquets are regularly arranged to create a continuous pattern, or a single pattern is stitched in two different colors to create a different atmosphere, like different colors of floral prints.
The book also includes works arranged into small pieces, such as a brooch stitched from a portion of a larger pattern, and a mat that makes use of a border pattern.

Includes a full-size pattern, instructions for making each piece, and basic embroidery lessons.
