Praise for Fabric Paper Thread
"Sutcliffe's first book is an approachable set of projects, mostly embroidery-based...Her aesthetic is charming: simple, often patterned, designs with easy-to-stitch lines, with just enough trendiness to appeal. . . . This book is a lovely gift to the supervised young crafter." —Publishers Weekly
"All of the projects are cool and fun, and appeal to anyone. Though most of the pictures have girls doing the projects, the projects aren't girly and my son didn't consider any of the projects "off limits" for a boy. . . . Fabric Paper Thread is full of ideas. Many of these projects will make great road trip and vacation projects, and I'm looking forward to trying them out with my kids." —Sew A Straight Line
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Blogger Sutcliffe's first book is an approachable set of projects, mostly embroidery-based and aimed at preteen girls. Her aesthetic is charming: simple, often patterned, designs with easy-to-stitch lines, with just enough trendiness to appeal. Watercolor & Pen Postcards are pleasing despite being basic, while the Simply Stitched Tote Bag and Leather Bracelets have the kind of vaguely beachy, woodsy look that's perfect for summer. Adults who find this book might want to stitch up a few of the designs for themselves. A few caveats before buying, though. While Sutcliff provides extensive illustrated directions for embroidery stitches, notation to "use a sewing machine to prepunch" or to trim the raw edges "with pinking shears" pop up without warning that such tools are needed. Also, with several projects, Sutcliffe advises stitching on Aida cloth, then fusing the cloth to an article of clothing or accessory. Aida cloth won't hold up to much wear and tear (or washing), and waste canvas, which is widely available, is a far better choice. With those minor oddities in mind, this book is a lovely gift to the supervised young crafter. Color photos.
