Corinne Lapierre studied Fine Art in France before moving to England to study Fashion Design. After working as a fashion designer for a few years, Corinne studied millinery, through which she discovered felt and its many qualities. In 2009 Corinne started her own craft business as a felt maker, and her company, based in Leeds, UK, now sells an expanding range of craft kits and patterns designed for adults and children. Corinne lives in Yorkshire with her three children and two cats. This is Corinne's fifth book, following her best-selling Folk Embroidered Felt Birds and Felt Animal Families. She was awarded BEST BRITISH BRAND in the Craft Business Awards 2021. Visit her website www.corinnelapierre.com
Clear instructions, good photos, templates are clear. There are instructions on how to go to the free website to download them to your device. Really lovely decorations for Christmas or all year round! -- Gail Cromack * Amazon Customer Review * Corinne Lapierre designs are absolutely charming - a nice mix of Scandi, French, traditional, modern feels; beautifully, clearly photographed pictures, nicely displayed, and very inspiring so you could not only make the ornaments illustrated - say, the robin wreath - but also interchange bits and pieces and use them for your own inspiration - say, make the robins into a garland (like the snowflake garland) or use them as parcel hangers. Instructions are clear and unthreatening and warn you of possible tricky bits (of which there are very very few!) Helpful, too, that in the intro technique section she explains which felts are best to work with, as there can be a huge difference. * Amazon Customer Review * This is a beautifully written craft book for felt embroidery. Very clear instructions. Easy for a beginner and experienced. The style is all top stitching with no seams to turn which makes for a quicker result. Also the stitch detail adds to the beauty and very rewarding. This book has more variety in projects. Hoop framed and box framed. Felt is so easy to cut no fray edges to worry about. -- Geraldine Walker * Amazon Customer Review *
