Embroidery

 


According to Holly, the Grayslake Library’s resident embroidery expert: “If you can hoop it, you can embroider it!” Whether by hand or machine–like with one of the embroidery machines in The Hub, your library’s very own makerspace–embroidery is an excellent way to personalize anything from bibs to sweaters, from patches to towels, and so much more. It’s the perfect way to make a special gift for someone or to customize your own items!


Looking for patterns for hand embroidery? Look no further than the shelves of your library! Hoop Dreams by Cristin Morgan comes with 20 projects and templates. Embroidery for Everyone by Kelly Fletcher has over 50 patterns and is perfect for beginners. Creative Mending by Hikaru Noguchi can inspire you to add a little bit of beauty to your worn-down clothes. Check out any of these titles to get started today!
