Learn Or Brush Up On Your Hand Embroidery With This Resource!
Are you interested in learning hand embroidery? Today we are sharing a new craft book that is a must have for anyone interested in hand sewing. I was lucky enough to have a grandma who lived close to me. She sewed by hand, embroidered, and sewed on the sewing machine. Passing on those skills to me.
Not everyone learns to sew when they are a child. But, it is a craft and skill that you can pick up anytime you are ready to learn. If you are like me maybe you haven’t embroidered in a while and just need a refresher or to add new stitches to your skills.
I have made felt craft projects using embroidery skills but, haven’t learned all the stitches or embroidery skills. That’s where this new sewing book Hand Sewing Magic would be a nice addition to your craft book or sewing library.
It’s the latest craft book we received for free to review. I’m excited to share this book with you, especially if you are new to embroidery. This will help you learn embroidery skills. Let me share more about this book so you can see if it is the right book for your book stash.

Our Thoughts about Hand Sewing Magic
I think the book offers embroidery skills for all skill levels. The craft patterns are just a jumping point if you are skilled but, cover complete how to for novices. Once you have embroidery skills you can make your own patterns or take it to the next level by using the embroidery skills learned from the book. Or use the patterns offered adding your favorite stitches to the pattern.
Whether you are a beginning sewer or brushing up on your hand sewing skills this book is packed with step by step images. Each embroidery stitch comes complete with written step by step. You will see how to create embroidery stitches on your own.
If you are looking for embroidery books for kids I recommend you looking at these three books:
The Amazing Stitching Handbook for Kids | Stitching With Jane Foster | Fun With Stitchables
- Hand Sewing Magic is geared towards adults but, would be good for teen sewers too.
