Recycling is one of the hottest new trends in embroidery, and this
is the first book to cover it. Embroiderers recycle for many
different reasons: to conserve old pieces of ephemera for the
future, to give their work a personal touch, to convey meaning, or
simply for economy.Covering both hand and machine embroidery, this
book is packed with ideas for using many different types of
salvaged material, such as fabric, paper, nature's materials
including dried flowers and tree bark, plus plastic, wood and metal
waste, and precious personal objects such as broken jewellery or
special souvenirs. Illustrated in colour throughout with work from
the world's leading contemporary embroiderers, the book covers
