Calming blues from a day at the beach, the soft white tones of clouds and seashells we never tire of pairing shades of blue with white. In this book, author Kozue Yazawa draws inspiration from the natural world and her own surroundings, using an array of these colours in classic nautical motifs that evoke a sense of elegance and nostalgia.
Follow the simple instructions and diagrams to turn your embroidery into delightful things to make and use. Projects include a sea urchin pincushion; conch shell scissors holder and needle book for your sewing supplies; tote bags sporting anchors, starfish, and sailor hats; an elegant garland of flowers for your wrist; a stylish shawl to keep warm; a notebook cover; keychain charms to elevate your accessories and much more 30 projects in all! These projects are easy to complete quickly, but fun to savour slowly, leaving room for creativity.
