Media Reviews

You couldn't ask for a better introduction to the art of stitched Shibori. Starting with an explanation of the everyday items you will need to get started, clear, precise language and lots of clear images, Annabel takes you through from the simplest ‘ori-nui’ running stitch to the fabulous effects you can achieve by combining different, simple stitch patterns and resists to form intricate patterns. Creative Stitched Shibori is amazing value; hours if not days of creative fun using stuff that most of us will already have, to produce beautiful, original items that will, absolutely, enhance your life. -- Angie Corbet, Dorset Guild, #292 of The Journal of Spinners, Weavers and Dyers * #292 of The Journal of Spinners, Weavers and Dyers *
Every Chapter is packed with pictures of both instructional and finished examples. The instructional photos are clear and easy to understand, laid out in a piecemeal fashion for ease of following along. The Colorful photos of the completed designs showcase the beauty and uniqueness of each stitch and are a delight to view. -- Jessica Swanson, Shuttle, Spindle and Dyepot * Shuttle, Spindle and Dyepot *
