"Imitating things with needles and thread. Embroidering charm and respect. The needle moves with loving feelings." (From the obi text by Shigesato Itoi)

Kumi Kosuge is a popular embroidery artist who is active in magazines and on the web, and her hats, brooches, and other works sell out immediately when she exhibits or sells them online.

Not only is her embroidery technique, sense, and expressiveness amazing, but her work is filled with love and humor for the subject, which has captured the hearts of many people.

This is Kumi Kosuge's first book.

This book introduces a wealth of embroidery works that beautifully reproduce the fur, texture, and expressions of animals, food, and people, which are the motifs that Kosuge often uses in her works.

There is also a page that clearly explains Kosuge's favorite tools, basic stitches, and how to make a cat brooch.

In the second half of the book, "patterns, sewing methods, and thread numbers" are listed so that readers can recreate the works introduced in this book, making it a book that can be used not only as a collection of works but also as a practical guide.
It's full of cute and fun pieces that will make you want to try making them yourself.

"Embroidery is a handicraft that you can easily start, even if you're not skilled, no matter where you are, as long as you have a few tools. The time you spend stitching one stitch at a time is calm and enjoyable, and it also increases your concentration, so your mind is at peace. When you sew little by little and complete a one-of-a-kind piece, there is an irreplaceable joy. You will once again encounter the wonder of 'handicrafts.'" (from "Introduction")
