A fun, witty, nerdy, and irreverent craft book for the modern
cross-stitcher.
Sometimes it's good to be a little...improper. Profane, funny, and
smart, Haley Pierson-Cox's IMPROPER CROSS-STITCH invites the modern
crafter to bring personality and humor to their cross stitch projects.
From a fully designed Damn it feels good to be a crafter to the
beautiful Art Deco inspired fuck, Haley's patterns are fresh, lively and
just what the crafter ordered.
In this book, she'll introduce readers to the joys of stitching the
naughty, the profane, the irreverent, and the just plain awesome. First,
she starts with a basic lesson in cross-stitch technique, no previous
experience required. Then, once readers know your way around an
embroidery hoop and a skein of floss, the books moves on to the
designs--35 in total, ranging from hip, to nerdy, to ironically
domestic--where Haley encourages crafters to embrace their inner snark
with gleeful abandon.
Her easy to follow instructions and colorful designs can make a cross
stitcher out of anyone. In all her years of crafting, Haley's learned
many things, but this simple fact remains one of the most important:
There is absolutely nothing in this world quite so satisfying as
enshrining something deeply inappropriate within the delicate stitches
of a cross-stitch sampler. It's truly one of life's great delights!
