With Cat in My Pocket Embroidery, she shares the secrets of her success, presenting step-by-step directions for reproducing the playful designs. Kubota’s technique allows crafters to “paint with thread” by using a small needle and single strands of colorful embroidery floss. Ten original projects, which include making ready-to-use iron-on transfers, allow crafters to transform ordinary items into works of art that feature adorable felines peering at you.
The book has 4 main chapters:
Chapter 1: Hiroko’s Cat Collection
Chapter 2: Everything You Need to Know
Chapter 3: The Projects
Chapter 4: Resources
There are 10 projects in the book and each one is as adorable as the next one. I really don’t know how to choose which one to try first! In the back of the book you’ll find a pocket that contains paper templates that you can use to transfer the design onto your desired surface. The author gives you great instructions on how to resize the template to suit your own needs and how to transfer the design.
These adorable kitty cats are beautiful. The designs would be suitable on the front of a purse, tote bag, drawstring bag, pillow front, pocket of your favorite shirt, embroidered onto a hat, cosmetic bag, gym bag, etc. They’re just purrrrrfect cutie kitties!
