This is an absolutely adorable book to add to your embroidery collection! If you like all things kawaii, definitely take a look at this one.

A beautiful book. Some inspiring projects in here. Very unusual and the small scale is something different.

A great book for the beginning stitcher. The projects are just the right size for teaching new stitches without the student becoming overwhelmed. It's inspiring to be able to see a completed piece. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this title. #TinyStitches #NetGalley

This quirky and lighthearted guide to embroidery is full of perfectly sized projects to learn and experiment with. The tiny, beautiful, interesting, and unique designs are pure fun. The book is well laid out, with large, detailed, and colorful images, step by step instructions, and an index of designs. Templates are included for all the designs, as well as many bonus patterns. Projects include hoops, pins, buttons, patches, and badges. Recommended for crafty library collections.

This was an excellent book. The descriptions were clear, and there was a range of projects that would be good for beginners as well as more advanced embroiderers. I particularly enjoyed the tiny landscapes. One thing I didn't like was that the thread was called by name instead of number in the projects descriptions, but at the end of the book the number is given.
I'm definitely going to be doing a number of these projects.

This book is full of super cute embroidery ideas! Some of the stitches I've never seen before, so I feel like a more experienced embroidery skill is needed for many of the designs, but they are lovely! And adorable... and just so tiny!! I think these patterns could easily be used for other embroidery projects. They are very versatile with a huge variety in one book. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in a little (tiny) embroidery flair! Thanks to NetGalley for an advanced peek at this book!

Some very cute ideas here but I won't be embarking on these projects...too fiddly for me.For someone that enjoys this craft I imagine this could be very inspirational

Oh, I love these little embroidered buttons! I used to embroider larger pieces, but then fell in love with cross stitch. Spotted this book and now that I've taken a look, feel the need to try something a bit more challenging! Love the patterns and can't wait to try them! Photos are used as guides for creating the items! Kudos to the author!

I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley.com and the publisher Roost Books. Thank you to both for giving me the opportunity to read it.

Ms. Yazici has crafted a wonderful book to broaden the horizon of the experienced and novice embroiderer alike. Beautifully photographed with concise instructions, the reader is guided through the process to make miniature works of art.

Oh my goodness - I *loved* Tiny Stitches. As someone who enjoys embroidery and would consider myself as an intermediate skill level, I think Tiny Stitches would be great for a beginner. Each design is broken down by steps with pictures - making it a lot easier to follow the instructions. Irem also gives beginners and embroidery 101, stitch directory and a how to on transferring designs. Irem also gives a few other possible projects - such as: pins, buttons, patches and badges. . Something that I struggle with is finding things to do with my finished embroidery (I just tend to keep it in it's hoop). I was very excited to see tutorials on how to produce these cute projects. After finishing the book, I immediately went to buy some pin backs to create tiny pins! I'll absolutely be trying out these cute designs and am very grateful that I was allowed to check out this Galley.

Thank you to Netgalley and Roost Books for providing me with an e-copy in exchange for my honest opinion. 5/5

I received a copy of Tiny Stitches: Buttons, Badges, Patches and Pins to Embroider by Irem Yazici through NetGalley for review.

I'm very impressed so far, it's step by step- imagery! She's going to tell you the tools, items, all thing things you need plus, how to- every step of the way through each project.
And she provides you with actual projects! If you've never done embroidery before, this is a really great book. They're not super complicated, there's projects both big and small. She also provides you with templates, so there's no guesswork on the sizing. Down to how to finish each piece afterwards.
It comes with a directory of stitches. How to transfer the templates and a full list of the embroidery floss numbers- so you get the exact color you need.

It's a really cute, smart- well thought out book! And the projects are really cool!

Tiny Stitches are exactly what the title promises: a collection of awesome small embroidery projects. The projects vary from 3 inch (which works well in hoops) up to 3/5 inch (16 mm) buttons. It’s ideal for a beginner, because the projects are small and doable, and you don’t need to purchase 6 strands of yarn to make a pattern, it’s small and simple and totally hip and trendy. Many teenager will want a few embroidered buttons I’m sure, they have that emoticon vibe going on. There are many cute designs, and very versatile topics! There are landscapes, cute animals, constellations, plants, I think there is something for everyone.

I can’t wait to try out a few, I fell in love with long and short stitches a while ago but I haven’t dared to take the step to try it myself (mostly because I needed to buy a lot of specific DMC yarn which costs a fortune for only a small project), but this book has made me take the step!

This book also has a how-to guide, there are pictures and steps on how to make a hoop project, patch, pin and button, and several transfer methods are discussed. There is a stitch directory, and with the example projects you see all the steps both in pictures and text. And to make things even more exciting, there are more patterns in the back of book than is shown in the pages, so that is a nice suprise!

I absolutely loved this book. The instructions were easy to follow, the projects were small and simple enough to not be intimidating, and the photographs are lovely.

I received Tiny Stitches from NetGalley in return for an honest review, and I'm very glad I did!

The book 23 patterns for various embroidery projects, ranging from minuscule robins on a button, to a small beach scene displayed in a miniature hoop. The thing I really love about these designs is how fast they come together. They're small and quirky and even a beginner could do each of these projects in a matter of days.

The usual beginner's-guide-to-sewing stuff is included here as well, with a run down of the equipment needed and how the stitches are formed, but the focus is on how to put them together into the designs.

Too adorable for words! Every project is a work of art. From florals, to animals, to fantasy, and so much more. Something for every stitcher. I can hardly wait to try my hand at recreating these mini masterpieces!

I love this book! The patterns are so cute- those cat paws! Squee! There are a variety of projects to try, and the patterns could easily be used for other projects as well. The ideas in the book are perfect for gift giving or sprucing up your own stuff. While I think a beginner would probably be alright with this book- the instructions are clear, and there is a stitching guide in the back of the book- it seems a little more geared to someone who has already done a bit of embroidery. This could just be me; some of the stitches I haven't done before, and I feel like I'd need some practice to get the lovely results shown. I would definitely recommend this book!

This books lights my creative fires. I have not done embroidery in decades but I am itchy to get stitching. The designs are fresh and charming. Great ideas for gifts and the projects are easily portable. I am definitely buying a copy for our library and one for my personal collection.

My fingers are itching, people!

I'm a huge fan of this kind of embroidery, to be fair. I like the stuff that's more like sketching a picture than constructional (I'm not sure the term for it, but stuff like hardanger or even cross stitch, where you're making a fabric rather than drawing with thread.), and this book not only has great ideas for that, it's also totally inspirational for project types. Badges and patches and buttons -- things you don't necessarily think of first when you're itching to pick up a needle.

The badges, in particular, excited my creative brain. Yazici gives cool examples for simple designs that look complicated, but never get too fiddly, even in small sizes. I kind of want to make myself achievement badges now, just as something fun to stitch.

I love that the book has a very clear stitching guide at the end, which is great for newbies and a good refresher for old-timers. And the templates are clear, and come with a transfer guide, too.

It makes me want to go stitch things *right now*, which probably isn't good for the state of my house (housework? Pshaw...there's floss to use!), but is very good for inspiration and for directing that inspiration into making tiny projects that are quick wins. Love this book!

(p.s. Got it from netgalley, but all opinions are, obviously, my own.)

I received this e-book ARC of Tiny Stitches: Buttons, Badges, Patches, and Pins to Embroider
by Irem Yazici through Net Galley from Roost Books in exchange for a truthful review.

This book contains 23 small-scale embroidery projects with step-by-step instructions.
The projects range in size from small 4 inch diameter small hoops to the absolutely adorable 3/5 inch diameter buttons and pins.

In addition to the projects, there are 7 pages of templates of other designs and directions on how to make transfers of these cute designs onto fabric are included.

I would classify this book as geared towards the intermediate embroidery enthusiast, looking for new ways to incorporate embroidery into projects. While there is a stitch directory, it is included in one of the latter chapters.

What a great collection of embroidery projects! I love the small scale of the projects. These would be perfect for a beginner to try their hand at embroidery without committing to a large project that may never be finished or for someone more advanced just looking for a quick project. There are plenty of cute patterns to choose among - from buttons to patches and badges to small hoop projects. I especially love the cat paw patch, tree hugger badge and desert and forest landscapes. The book includes step by step guidance for each featured pattern and a stitch guide for those not familiar with the various embroidery stitches.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this fun book. All comments are my own, unbiased opinion.
