Description
Book Synopsis
In The Geometry of Hand-Sewing, Natalie Chanin and her Alabama Chanin and The School of Making teams present their breakthrough method, featuring illustrated instructions (for both right- and left-handed stitchers) for more than 100 stitches. Their lessons range from the most basic straight and chain to the more fanciful feather and herringbone; photos of both right and wrong sides; and guidelines for modifying stitches to further increase one's repertoire. As makers, we tend to learn different stitches over time without thinking much about how they relate to one another. But when Natalie Chanin and her Alabama Chanin and The School of Making teams began to look at needlework closely, they realized all stitches are based on geometric grid systems--and by using grids as guides, they could make learning stitches, even seemingly elaborate ones, as easy as child's play. Chapters include:- A New Way to Think about Sewing and Embroidery
- For the Love of Tools
- Basic Stitches
- Enhancing Stitches
- Manipulating Grids
- Patterned Stitches
