A step-by-step introduction to essential embroidery techniques, with expert guidance on materials, stitches, and foundational skills
Nine exclusive garden-inspired patterns, featuring Emillie’s signature motifs of flowers, birds, and butterflies
Rich, detailed photography showcasing Emillie’s exquisite work and providing visual support for every stage
