In Embroidered Botanicals, Yumiko Higuchi offers 39 embroidery projects highlighting the distinctive quality of different threads. With motifs created specifically for different types of thread - wool, cotton, pearl cotton, and metallic - makers will become better versed in the materials available to them. With beautiful photographs, clear step-by-step instructions, and detailed diagrams, this book will be an inspiring guide for those new to embroidery and a fresh and unique offering for those experienced with needle and thread.
The motifs and patterns she offers here are true to her trademark zakka style: simple and graphic yet softened with organic shapes and imagery drawn from nature. The result is embroidery that feels modern and nostalgic all at once.
After attending Tama Art University and working as a handbag designer, Yumiko Higuchi launched her career as an embroidery artist in 2008. She is the author of multiple embroidery books. You can find her on Instagram @yumikohiguchi. She resides in Tokyo, Japan.

Love the originality of items but I must say it’s very overpriced, I believe we look for affordability and quality. The quality of my scissors were not very sharp and I did choose the lower end scissors.
Having said that I understand you’re a small business. I shop online but I do go for authentic and original pieces of embroidery equipment. Trail and error as they say. Thankyou beyond measure.

Great designs with lovely inspiring photographs. I’ve started my first design and it’s looking great so far.
Love this item - provides hours of creative experience . I’m inspired by members of various clubs I’m involved with . All my friends are very excited to see themselves portrayed .
Just as pictured. Very cute little ceramic magnet. It's so nice to look at it when I am using it to hold pins and needles for crafting.
I was looking forward to this book arriving as soon as I saw it was being published. A generous discount code from Beyond Measure made the book even more appealing. It arrived beautifully packaged and on time.
I’ll be knitting lots of sweaters from it!
I am very pleased with this hand tool. I am sewing fifty A3 artist books and my usual tools were not really up to the job. I am able to manage 5 sheets of 200gms paper at a time - there are 46 sheets in each book; it is a labour of love, enjoyable, meditative. I first tried a much cheaper option and returned it, as it could do no more than my awl - one page at a time!
