Featuring sketching and illustration instructions, basic stitches, embroidery techniques, and 6 projects with portraits of famous women, this book is a must-have tool for hands-on artists and crafters.
If you're a beginning embroiderer, start with the basic stitches and embroidery instructions at the beginning of the book. Essential tools, warm-up exercises, tips for embroidering facial features and hair, and general information on embroidery will give you the know-how you need to get started. Then dive into sketching your favorite female cultural and historical icons:

- Eleanor Roosevelt
- Maya Angelou
- Harriet Tubman
- Ruth Bader Ginsburg
- Michelle Obama
Once you've sketched your figures, follow along with the step-by-step embroidery projects as you learn to stitch the women featured in the book--and anyone else you admire! All of the projects are beautifully paired with large photos so that you can easily mimic the techniques at home while relaxing with your embroidery.
The author is a professional illustrator, designer, and embroiderer uniquely suited to give instruction on this fun, trending embroidery technique. With her expert tips, you're sure to enjoy learning a new hobby, or advancing your skills if you're already familiar with embroidery.
Art Makers: Empowered Embroidery makes it easy to sketch, stitch, and create your favorite female icons, from empowering women of today to icons of the past.
