About the Book
Embroidery lovers,

Discover the art of punch
needle with this collection of 11 special projects from Japanese embroidery
artist Yumiko Higuchi. This series of sweet little projects will teach you how
to achieve rich, three-dimensional textures and finishes with your fiber art,
all using a punch needle pen and embroidery floss.
In this curated
collection, Higuchi offers her simple, modern spin on classic embroidery
projects, including brooches, pouches, coasters, samplers, pillows, and hoop
art. Inspired by the colors and shapes of nature, her designs feature fruit,
flowers, leaves, gemstones, and animals. She explores different punch needle
techniques, utilizing traditional embroidery floss to create a variety of
textures, from flat stitches and tidy little loops to plush, three-dimensional
shapes. You'll also learn how to create shading with embroidery floss and
incorporate metallic thread into your work for an elegant touch.

Higuchi's style and are interested in exploring this fun craft. Once you get
