Stitch
Stitching cats on to clothes started with a request from her son, became a viral sensation, and now reaches you in book form. Japanese embroiderer, Hiroko Kubota generously shares how colours, shades and layers of thread can be built up to achieve life-like results. There's a whole range of cats to stitch, each with their own personality and iron-on transfer. You'll find plenty of images, including close-ups, matched with detailed instructions explaining what's involved at each stage. Particular attention is paid to creating fur and developing the eyes, which really bring the portraits alive. You'll also get ideas on how to display your stitched feline friends for best effect. Love cats? Love embroidery? Then this is a match made in heaven

This is a really lovely book. Will definitely inspire you to have a go. Excellent instructions, beautiful pictures and the added bonus of transfers to make life easier. Every section of each project is clearly explained together with stitching techniques and suggestions as to what you will need to complete it. In my view if you are a beginner, like me, or more experienced in embroidery, this is a brilliant purchase. Enjoy it, (I am).

This book is really lovely and so informative. The cats are drawn in fantastic detail and there are templates to do 10 cat projects. The really comprehensive step-by-step instructions include picture steps as well as suggestions to use alternative threads so you can create your own feline. The instructions are so detailed and include how to care for your work once it is finished - e.g. washing and fabric thread care. I would recommend this book to all embroidery and cat enthusiasts.
