Sonia Lyne fell in love with embroidery at the age of 7, but it
wasn't until 2011 that she took up the needle and hoop once more.
After a long hiatus, she one day decided to embroider a portrait of
her and her family, and at once her old passion was rekindled.
After stitching numerous portraits for family, friends and latterly
dozens of interested clients, Sonia daydreamed about creating teeny
embroidery hoops so that her - and others' - small-scale
masterpieces could be worn. Moving away from a career in the
fashion industry, she then opened Dandelyne (TM), a business
handmaking and selling tiny hoop kits for budding and experienced
stitchers everywhere.
Now, Dandelyne (TM) miniature hoops are famous and are used
worldwide by beginner and professional embroiderers alike to make
their mini creations come true.
Sonia lives in Melbourne, Australia.
Gorgeous book just as you expect from Search Press. This is a great
book for any Dandelyne follower to have in their crafting
collection.
*Customer review*
As a crafter, embroidery is still something I had to try so thought
that this would be a great place to start. It's a fantastic book
witch packs a lot of valuable information and projects to try.
Everything is explained simply and everything you need to make a
project is surprisingly cheap. The projects included are really
fun, vibrant and different. You're encouraged to use your own
imagination to create little works of art with really simple
stitches which are well explained and pictured. It's a great book
for new and advanced embroiderers alike and I would highly
recommend it.

This is a fun and quirky book filled with 60 projects to fit tiny
embroidery hoops, which come in all shapes and sizes. The designs
are brilliant. Some are traditional, some are appliqued but all of
them are very eye catching and amazing. Unicorns, pets and abstract
patterns are included and the visual and written instructions are
very simple to follow. Each one is inspiring and you will be able
to indulge in a creative and imaginative craft session just by
looking through the wonderful ideas. The techniques are all
explained and cover a wide range of sewing and embellishment
skills. This is a fabulous book, and would make a perfect gift
for a stitchy fan

Embroidery hoops that you can wear as jewellery? This is the latest
way of wearing your art in miniature, and the invention of the
book’s author. Visit her website www.dandelyne.com for everything
you need (if you are in Australia) plus stockists for those in
other countries. One look at the glorious array of colourfully
stitched mini hoops on the cover and I was sold. Wearable art is my
passion and I am always on the lookout for the latest thing. This
book tells you what you need to know, starting with lists of what
you need (basic needlecraft supplies) to suggestions for fabrics,
threads and “fun bits”. The next section shows you how to assemble
the hoops when completed, some basic embroidery stitches, how to
transfer designs and other essentials. The page of tips and tricks
are useful, and throughout the author has written her book in a
friendly, chatty style which is accessible and a lot more fun than
bald instructions. I particularly like the page showing one simple
design (a heart) and nine different ways it could be worked. There
are over sixty different patterns in here and they are divided into
sections for ease of use. Start with that simple heart, then
progress to more embellished designs for feathers, flowers and
houses. Stitch a family portrait using simple shapes (easier than
it sounds and very effective), use lace, sequins and beads, stitch
your own drawing, work a design that flows out of the hoop and
couch down thicker threads. Elsewhere are abstracts, traditional
florals and even pet portraits. Some of this can be done using the
author’s “spray and print” technique which utilises a printer, some
spray adhesive and a picture file on the computer. This book is
full of fun, modern embroidery ideas and is a lot of fun; even
beginners can master it and the designs can be as easy or complex
as you wish. A great new innovation.
